I Apparently Dont Pay Enough Attention To Most Of My Characters. That, Or Something Went Wrong In The

I apparently don’t pay enough attention to most of my characters. That, or something went wrong in the creative process.

Bella, Zach, Freddie (fair, I give way too much attention to non canonical characters) and Fera (:0 my sweetheart???) all got:

people don't care about this character enough:(( most fans completely gloss over this character and are obsessed with another character. even if this character is well written and has a cool plot :(( smh these fans need to pay attention to this character :(((

people will not shut up about how they deserve better this character went though a lot and fans are BITTER they write a crazy amount of fix it fics and just generally talk about how the character deserves way better.

Yeah. Yeah, that’s fair. I’m really not nice to them. But it’s just so fun writing angst! And they’re my favourite (besides Fera) so they’re subjected to more sad than everyone else.

tumblr segc man :(( im so sorry. but your character has an entire fandom that is h word for them. its terrifying. people would probably pay money for you to make an entire movie about that character so they can write fanfiction about them. not that they need the movie, they already have loads of fanfic.

I mean, if I gave her more attention, people would probably realise how cool she was. I’d like to see a movie about her and Fera. And how she would absolutely dominate misogynistic people in the work place. She’s not taking any bs

OC Vibe Check Quiz

The OG post was very long so here's a new one 😂 @harps-for-days tagged me in this hilarious quiz and I just could not resist. Since I have 7 main characters I only did three, but here are their results 🙃

Reese

OH I FUCKING HOPE SO! I THINK HE DESERVES BETTER AND IM WRITING HIM. I love my gentle Earth boy 🥺

Nate

Yes, okay, I know he's the only straight white boy, I get it. I know that's the reason but he is a very fucking hard character to "gloss over" I can promise you that 😂

Kay

I- no comment. That's accurate. I hope this proves true 😌

Ten questions to ask a friend who just read your novel

Here are ten questions to ask that will not put your friend in a tough spot, but will still give you some useful input on your novel:

1. At what point did you feel like “Ah, now the story has really begun!”  2. What were the points where you found yourself skimming?  3. Which setting in the book was clearest to you as you were reading it? Which do you remember the best?  4. Which character would you most like to meet and get to know?  5. What was the most suspenseful moment in the book?  6. If you had to pick one character to get rid of, who would you axe?  7. Was there a situation in the novel that reminded you of something in your own life?  8. Where did you stop reading, the first time you cracked open the manuscript? (Can show you where your first dull part is, and help you fix your pacing.)  9. What was the last book you read, before this? And what did you think of it? (This can put their comments in context in surprising ways, when you find out what their general interests are. It might surprise you.)  10. Finish this sentence: “I kept reading because…”

Your friend is probably still going to tell you, “It was good!” However, if you can ask any specific questions, and read between the lines, you can still get some helpful information out of even the most well-meaning reader.
