Hey there. So I noticed you dropped a lot of comments off on Return To Me My Love and I want to thank you and inform you that the sequel is finally up! Hope you like it :)
How's things? This was the first story that I got from swapping (http://www.mibba.com/Stories/Read/460792/Capitol-Pawns/) it's a Hunger Games {different one though) story so I don't know if your into the series or not, but I enjoyed it.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it =). As for tips on defining characters... I've never really thought about it too much, but now that you've brought it up, I just try to completely see things from the character's perspective. Not "what would they say?" but "what would I do?", if that makes any sense. As for supporting characters, have an idea in mind of what you want them to be like beforehand. Mysterious, or open and bubbly? Think about real people you know and maybe try and incorporate some of what makes them themselves into who you're writing about. Hope that helps!
Thanks for your comment on TBL; what I do is usually search for pictures (me I use either photobucket or weheartit) and then I try to figure out what their life might be like based on what the picture is. Like who their parents are, if their rich or trying to make ends meet for their family, who their friends could be; basically I just imagine a full-out history for that certain character. Hoped that helped you somewhat.
cool, i might check that out (do you have an inkling of what the user's name as though?). Please; you write about Matt Sanders of Avenged Sevenfold. That alone tells me I will enjoy your stories (even though Brian is hotter).
That's okay; everyone gets like that sometimes. When I first read yours I was confused until I thought you might have meant Jeremy. I will still however take your last parts as the true comment. Read any good ones that you may still remember? I need some good reads.
Thanks for the comment to my story, but wondering something here. Where exactly did you read this character of Jimmy (unless of course you are refering to Jeremy instead) seeing as I didn't put a character named that in there. I'll see what I can do about updating it however.
With my character I have made my own character profile template to use and develop my character more. I love detail on my characters and like to make them seem real :-)
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Writing is something I just do for fun - but I would of course love to make it my job! I hope to have an update in on Sunday night.
Thank you! You're a great writer. Never doubt that. I've learned the hard way that if you doubt yourself. You'll just keep on doing it, I did till my family told me I was a great writer, from then on out, I confide in myself when I am writing :).
