Oh, I think this a great idea!

– For some reason, I love having the two/three/four main characters in my stories be cousins. I'm really having to work on not having all my characters be cousins. I just feel like that's closer that friends, but argue less that siblings. Also, I love books that are about cousins.

– Strangely, I also like having my male characters show emotion by crying. I feel like today's description of "manly" is a brick wall that can handle anything, when in reality, men have emotions too. I'm a girl though, so I couldn't say for sure. I try not to make my male characters embarass themselves, though.  

– Oh, and making my main characters like things that I like. For example: writing, reading, singing, theater, Newsies, Tuck Everlasting.

Oh my I have so many of these

First- Diversity. So, this is mainly in my later writing but I just HAVE to make at least one of my characters LGBTQ+. It’s a big topic for me. And the main female has to be epically awesome with no need for a guy. 

Thats not really a bad thing though. My weakness for description however is. To hammer the point home, here’s one of my shorter paragraphs:

Long ebony black hair was brushed till every wave and knot had succumbed then twined into an orderly braid, with Reina’s pale fingers doing every movement automatically. A sapphire necklace was strung around her neck. She had picked it herself and was rather proud. It had a simple black ribbon, with fine silver framing the jewel that glittered beneath her collarbone. The dress flowed around her, a plain dark blue, like the water that was part of every shallow breath the young girl took.

Note that I said SHORTER. 

And I just love strong emotions. If my characters aren’t quivering with rage and loathing when they’re near someone, if they can’t feel the suffocating tightness in their chest when they cry, if they don’t break into uncontrollable joy with their loved ones, then I have failed. 

Also, I have a tendency to make up weird names. And ALL of my stories are focused on strong female characters. Not that I don't have dudes in the story at all… just that the main character is a girl. My fantasy novels usually include some amount of voilence. And I can't stand it if I don't describe the characters' appearances really well, because I have a perfect picture of them in my head, and I want my reader to visualize them the way I do… if that makes sense.

Top!

Weh so many!

– The second I make a character I start planning their death. I do it to further the plot and in an attempt to keep it alive, I never end up writing it down so it constantly changes. Heck, even for GAOWO’s story I was like yes I shall get stabbed and then touch the evil person who stabbed me with my bare hands, taking them down with me. Sad, right?

– I mostly make male characters, I’m more comfortable with writing as the male gender. It’s weird.

– Reusing of OCs, I do this wayyy too much but I always lack the imagination to create better ones. It’s pathetic but I’m trying to improve on this as much as I can (brushing up on my ancient gods, more specifically Greek and Norse mythology.) and I am trying to remember my weird dreams with people (Kudos to the random pink haired girl with gold eyes, I applaud you for eating that shark while fighting a horse) in them.

– All my characters look or act like some I know in a way. It’s as simple as it sounds, my inspiration for Troy came from Tyberious (my twin)’s undying swagger, my inspiration for my new OC Mila comes from my close friend Hallie, my inspiration for another new Oc Tress comes from my small (fun sized is what I usually call her) but fiery friend Reyna!

Thats all I can think of right now so imma go eat breakfast (it’s about 9:40 here in Alaska).

Mor says “rrre” …why…
