Do Any Other Writers Out There Not Know Where To Start When They Have Created Full Lives For Their Characters?
Do any other writers out there not know where to start when they have created full lives for their characters? I make a starting place, write a little, figure out my characters, and then second-guess where I’m supposed to start. Like do I want to give flashbacks for the needed information or do I start nearer to childhood. Do I start right before the one scene I’ve been dreaming about writing, or do I lead up to it? Do I start where they meet as kids, and then skip to where they’re older? Do I make a prologue. As an indecisive person writing is hard because of all the choices I have to make. (Who to traumatize, who to baby, ect.,).
it’s like I’m making a complicated movie for my characters. and I have to choose a good opening shot but the problem is that there are too many options.

A: i am now part of the walls, i have succumbed to the eager greed of carpentry, and am now lost forever. B: you locked yourself in the pantry for five minutes.
sometimes i forget that i have one (1) friend that KNOWS who i am and can see all my posts on tumblr. they’re keeping me in check so i don’t go batshit crazy.
throwback to that one time.
one of my friends got in a wreck (not caused by her dw) and she’s okay but she took a BeReal of it and that’s the funniest thing to me. Call it girlhood, being Gen Z, whatever it is it’s great.
It was truly time to ‘be real’ and her car was quite literally smushed.
my attraction boxes are like a square and there is male and female but there is also masculine and feminine and the catch is all the boxes are moving like tetris so i can be attracted to anyone at any given time
