Revised Character Interview

I was going anywhere with my story. Because I wasn't going anywhere with my outline. Because I wasn't going anywhere with my characters. Because the task seemed too daunting. Now, a few months ago I revised my character interview sheet that I use. I was so excited, because there were so many questions, and I was so excited to get to know my character in that much depth. I started filling one out for my first character, Lark, and found the task to be boring, and long, and there was no end in sight. Now, I used most of the questions from the character interview sheet I got from K.M. Weiland. The one I used before that came from Gail Carson Levine. Today was the day I made one of my own. I used some inspiration from their questions, but ultimately, this is my own character interviews, with questions in which I can find the things I need from my characters, without the task seeming too daunting. I'll share it with you guys. :) Enjoy!

Happy Writing!

Still putting it off

I've been finding excuses all week to get away from developing characters. Well, that's all going to change today. I am going to finish my characters!! :D I'm going to sit down at the computer, and not get off until I know EVERYTHING about all of my characters! Wish me luck, I'll need it.
Edit: It's killing me! I really want to go read the comics! Just 3 more characters. :| Almost there.

Procrastination

Yup. I'm doing it. I've been developing a character for over an HOUR! Almost done... Just 2 more questions! And then I can move on to Taren. *groans* One thing that writers won't tell you: There are some parts of writing that really, really suck. I mean, I love developing characters! In my mind... Getting it all down onto paper is a bit tedious. :P Well, I guess I'd better go get it all finished. *sighs* Tomorrow I'll start actually writing the story. YAY! :) Also, below is a nifty form I use for developing characters. If you want to use it, go ahead!
