Editing


I'm finally editing my book that I'm going to send to createspace using the code that I won from Nanowrimo. So I'm sorry if I won't be posting anything for a while. I really want the five free proof copies because it would be amazing to have my words become tangible. Unfortunately, the code expires on June 30, and I've been procrastinating on it a lot...

So off to work I go. Good luck on whatever you're working on. And I hope you have an amazing day.

Just click on it, because the pictures are slightly sick minded (no nudity I swear), but they're funny.

An example would be these two pictures taken randomly from the post




And this one isn't inappropriate or funny just plain useful. 


So please, please, please, please don't forget the space between a lot. It's not one word peoples! That's probably my one worst pet peeves, in this world. When people think a lot is one word, when it's actually two.

How to create a character and their personality.

Article found here on SUPERHERO NATION.


1. Find a list of character traits. I would recommend using the list from  SN, there's plenty of them, trust me. Or if you want something more visual...


2. Now choose a couple of traits that are noticeable in your character(s). It can be two positive traits and one negative traits, or two positive and negative traits, or two negative traits and one positive trait. Just make sure your character has at least one positive and negative trait. No one can be perfect or that bad either. Plus it makes your readers want to connect to your character if they find traits that are like theirs, if that makes sense. 

3. Now ask yourself why your character is like the traits you chose out for him/her. 
So, why? 

It's probably a bit more helpful if you read the original article, because it might make a bit more sense. 
Also don't forget to fill out a character questionnaire, that can be found here. I would suggest just filling out the first five questions, so you can know what your character would look like. But you can do all of them, if you want to. 

Also, you don't have to use that questionnaire, there are others out there in the world. That was just one that I remembered at the moment.
