Out of anything I could have expected or anticipated, this was no where close.

HOW FUCKING FASCINATING, FATHER.
DO TELL ME MORE.
YOU SO FASCINATING FATHER.
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS POST FOR THREE YEARS TO SHOW TO HELENA AND HERE WE ARE
DID HELENA LIKE IT
I try to remind myself of these things almost every day.
1. There are no rules in fiction. (You can do whatever you can get away with.)
2. Writing a book is hard. That’s just the nature of it.
3. Sometimes, the difference between a published writer and an unpublished writer is 17 drafts.
4. Play your own game — not someone else’s.
5. Every sentence should do more than one thing.
6. Try to think of your writing career and your publishing career as two separate things. You have some control over one of them, and almost no control over the other. (This is equally useful in good times and bad.)
7. Don’t be afraid to make a mess in front of yourself.
8. Try to do a little good work every day. (For me, that sometimes means writing just one good sentence.)
9. Don’t take your reader’s attention for granted. The reader is busy. The reader has a lot of other things to do.And lastly, I try to think of this one every day:
10. Be patient.
So, a lot of the character reference questionnaires I find on tumblr are amazing with content and horrible when it comes to actually filling them out. Either they are PDFs that can’t be converted to word documents or word documents with poor formatting.
Therefore, I have compiled a bunch of really extensive questionnaires and turned them into
contemplatingcheese’s Very Long Character chart
It’s around 11 pages of solid character questions in a Microsoft Word Document that can easily be edited. Also, I’ve included links to awesome writing blogs like
writingbox
Plus, it’s genderqueer friendly for all of your non-cis characters.
So please, use to your heart’s content. Tag me if you post anything!
