Do you build your characters first or do they evolve as your write the story?

I, unfortunately, do not have a talent for the written word but I do enjoy reading.

It's sort of a mixture of both, to be honest.

What sort of books do you like?


[On a totally unrelated note, The ending theme of Persona 3 is surprisingly catchy, especially considering what happens just before the credits roll.]

croats and banter don’t mix.




hmmmm.

I've lived with clinical depression for eleven years and I feel like the pain is finally starting to kill me. I just wish it would happen quicker.

I like books with Dragons who talk and are main characters. Naomi Novik is my favourite. Robin Hobb is good too.

When it comes to banter I tend to choose my opponent carefully.

Death is more painful.

I choose my opponent----and my weapons----carefully

I've been dealing with depression for a similar length of time, and have also really been struggling recently. Big dragon hugs for you. Stay strong. It really takes a lot of mental strength to be able to survive clinical depression for as long as you have - that's something you can be very proud of.

I also love those kinds of books

Yeah it is a long time to deal with such a warped mood. At least mine comes and goes even if it does feel very low this time. But there are so many on here dealing with their darkness but I think it could be a lot worse for some of us if we didn't have this place to retreat to. I don't always feel strong enough to support others but sometimes I do.
I can't take away anyone elses pain but you are never alone with it on here.

I know all the support and advice I've gotten on WP has helped me a ton recently - it probably literally saved my life at least once, a few months ago. Big dragon hugs for everyone in need of one

Back at yer Dragons, and anyone else who wants a group dragon hug.
Come on Marknis - embrace the hug.

And you Zach - snuggle in and squeeze up.

I haven't done anything useful today. I have three potential books to work on, but even with the most likeliest one, I only have a collection of ideas, a handful of backstories, and that's about it. I don't even know what point of view I'll use. I'm not used to starting brand-new books; I'm used to working on books I've been fiddling with for years or months.

*kitty hugs for anyone who needs them*

Oh, Kuraudo, please write one about witty talking dragons one day.
There are not enough dragons books in this world.

^I'll see what I can do.

I just had a thought of who's child Isolael might be. Oh, dear...
She is most likely the child of two other reality warping beings from Edge of Eternity [the book I just finished last Sunday] who nearly broke a planet just by existing. Oh, dear...Well, that does explain where Isolael got those special Taraka cards from...

[I'm just musing aloud, as it were.]
