Without going too much into detail, I got the impression that she was a delicate person. A tea cup sitting on the very edge of the table waiting for the inevitable stray elbow. Her nervousness made me nervous. It was contagious. And then later last night, I realized that she was a missing character in my story. She is the dead aunt of one of my MC's and the explanation for the rift between my MC's mother and her brother. I'm sure if ...

My question today is about how human can you make a non-human in a storyline without crossing the that's just ridiculous line. When I started expanding my story and created a map to help me along, I mentioned that the map software created some topography that gave me some plot ideas. One of the plot ideas is the inclusion of cetaceans (whales and dolphins) in my story. They live in what is called The Closed Ocean, a body of water with no saltwater exits. My humans are ...

She is a delusional young lady with a narcissistic bent.

She killed her sister because she was convinced her brother-in-law actually loved her.

She excuses doing bad things to people in one of two ways: either they don't love her and thus deserve it, or the do love her and won't mind.

Oh, and she's a budding nymphomaniac.

How do you go about establishing POV in your writing? I think this is my biggest "I don't know" when it comes to my own writing. I had heard a lot of different opinions on this. One person told me I should have each chapter written from a different character's POV, but I like to write conversations and events with multiples POV. I know that there should always be a new para when the POV changes, but is that enough? Does it make a conversation cloudy when you ...

I will tell you that for the past five years I have written over 150,000 words of fan fiction, successful more often than not. Original characters (OC's) are characters that are of your own creation, that you are inserting into a fan fiction story. Usually, OC's are characters that interact with the main cast as a hero/heroine. OC's are, in my opinion, harder to portray than the canon characters themselves. Too ...
