Well, we actually still talk, and I've mentioned it, but he hasn't touched it. He's been working on other things and lost interest, and besides that, the story itself has changed radically since we first developed it.

Otherwise, I appreciate the advice!

Hm. Now that you mention that, I think it's a good idea. I should maybe start taking notes on people. That'd help a LOT, considering I know some pretty diverse people.

Yeah, drugs in general are actually pretty helpful. But I don't have any, so they're not of much use to me right now.

Well, I mean, that's a given. Not to offend you, but I think most people could tell me that. I suppose a better question is this: Can I use archetypes in a mix-and-match fashion to diminish the effect of having archetypal characters? And, how do I stray away from archetypes? It seems a rather daunting task.

How exactly would you define unique in this context? Unique as in distinguishable from the other characters?

Hm. Thank you very much, I'm actually thinking about getting some work done tonight instead of playing VTM:R until I start banging my head against my desk.

I see. That actually seems like pretty good advice. Do your characters have a habit of forming from the story itself, or does the story form from the characters?

     So, a couple years ago, an associate of mine presented me with an idea for a book, which I gladly accepted. After a while, though, we stopped talking as often as before, so I took over the project. It had been dead for a while, but I've still got all my notes on it, and I'm thinking of bringing it back. This site has also been pretty intriguing to me. However, I've ran into an inability to come up with ideas.

     So, really, what I'm asking is this: how do you come up with ideas, forum? What gets your brain going? I really wanna get back into writing more often, but like I said, I can't come up with anything.

Hello!

A friend of mine introduced me to this place and I was like.... DUDE!!!
I haven't done a lot here though, so bear with me. I'm a writer, and I like to do my own projects, and...
Well, sometimes they get out of hand and last longer than I expect.

But I hope to soon have something sweet going around here with my partner, greencloud,

Who is totally the most amazing person, EVER!

If you wanna talk, feel free to message me, or give a quick hello.
