Most Characters I Connect And Relate To Are Usually About My Age. There Was A Time A Couple Years Ago

instead of scooby doo, what if they were transported into my little pony?

ch.7 Tcf Drabbles

I want it to be battle of the glib tongue.. but I don't know how to make one ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ

If anyone can make one, feel free to use this, just erase everything that was written or edit it however you want lol (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

Aalajkansnsns I love this

could you draw litpollo please?

Lit: this sword has taken countless lives, it is my most trusted weapon. It can cut through flesh like butter–

Jo: but this is a sausage. You are using a murder weapon to cut sausage.

What is Supernatural if not a show about Dean Winchester hating himself profoundly and angel of the lord Castiel being like: no Dean, you're perfect actually.

Oh, no, his hat. ☹️

Tips to Making sure your Characters have Different Personalities - Authoring Advice🎭

You have spent time creating each of your characters and yet you may realize that one of your characters seem suspiciously similar to another one of your creations. I have a few tips to help with this.

Hobbies/ Likes/ Preferences:

Maybe both of your characters speak indistinguishably, perhaps they both have the same backgrounds, or both have tempers. A little thing like giving them different favorite foods can go a long way. 

You can put your characters in the same situation or similar ones and show the audience their different reactions. Maybe your characters seem the same but the farther you get to know them, the more you realize you were wrong. People can be the same way.

Backgrounds:

No one has the same past and life as another person (except maybe a sibling but there’s very little chance sisters and brothers are very alike). Parents are different, cultures are unalike, homes are contrasting. 

Try giving your characters separate lives. Experiences shape personalities. 

Make them hate each other:

As strange as it might seem, making the characters hate each other worked surprisingly well for me. 

Maybe, over the simplest thing, they fight and argue. They might have a dark past, or there may be other causes. But arguments (even if its funny to read) distract from the similarities and cause the differences to be more prominent.  

(And besides, it sets up a good enemies to friends subplot. But it might not work for every character. I do not advice on making to many enemy relationships.) 

Contrast the physical appearances:

It’s just a thought, but maybe making the to people look distinctly different can divert readers attention to compare the two. 

“If they look unalike, then they must be.”

Have them be bestest friends:

This is the opposite of another point I made but these are all suggestions, you do not have to follow any of them, but this may be something you want to try.

Just like opposites attract, people who have a lot in common also take interest in one another. Readers may think you made the pair similar on purpose. Like you were trying to have them have similar personalities. 

(BUT do not have them exactly alike, this is just being lazy and should never happen. There are very few exceptions, and they all involve clones.)

Try again:

A very likely reason why your characters are similar is because you didn’t work on them enough. You may need to sit back down at your desk (or floor, that’s my favorite place) and try again.

Redo them completely if you must, or just add on to what you have. But if nothing that I or another person has suggested worked, then your not ready. Eventually your characters will become a perfect mess that they were destined for.

Tips to Starting a Book or Series - Authoring Advice📚

Before you read, you have to realize that all people are different and have distinct styles. But here’s my recommendations.

Start Writing

I do not suggest start writing your book without planning  what I have meant by this was start writing down your ideas. 

What I did was I took a blank notebook and started writing pages upon pages on my world, characters, plot and story. It took me a few months to finish but finally I was finished and ready to start my draft. 

You can do it in your own way. Perhaps on a computer, maybe on a chart, or not at all. But I highly recommend planning your novel, it could be much easier to write and finish it.

(But seriously, if your writing a fantasy or science fiction book and your characters are going to be traveling a lot, then create a map. It will be SO helpful!) 

Characters

You may not need to plan your plot your story but your world, and your characters need to be thought out. Especially your characters, your world just needs some major details written down if your not going in depth with it but your characters for any genre need to be planned.

You may have to rewrite whole chapters because you messed up your characters personality. Your characters may not be consistent or may be flat. Try character questionnaires and writing the important details of their past and personality.

(Also, make sure you keep the physical attributes of your characters the same throughout the book)

Have your Genre and your Story in Mind 

You can’t just start writing a chapter when you have no idea what your about to write. That is ridiculous, and your probably never going to get your novel done this way.

I suggest writing in a genre you love, one you adore reading. It can be more fun and enjoyable. You shouldn’t be complaining. You love it, why not write it?

Don’t start writing with no idea of a story. Even people who don’t plan their novel know the general direction they want to go, so should you. It will be much easier to write, and less likely of a boring story and writers block. 

Theme

If you want a theme to your novel, it’s best to know it before you start writing. Otherwise it will be inconstant, and it could  make your book seem out of place. 

Anyway that’s all I have (that’s all I felt like writing today). Have a FANTASTIC day, and happy authoring!📖

Happy aromantic visibility day!! Love this aroace king

I want to see this.

Why couldn't they just bonk each other instead of getting into fist fights and starting apocalypses?

Making my own tags into a separate post because why not?
