I guess it's easier for me to create a character that fits into the scenario than to create a character and then the scenario that goes with him/her.Natalienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-89713945322504715532015-05-07T09:38:55.544-07:002015-05-07T09:38:55.544-07:00I also tend to combine everything I love into my s...I also tend to combine everything I love into my stories. It's one of the reasons I decided to write was because no books out there had everything I wanted in them lol. Avatar: The Last Airbender! Whoop Whoop! Another fan! Lots of good advice.

I do agree that just continuing to push yourself (and writing) definitely helps, and ultimately leads do you proving that you <i>can</i> do whatever you were worried about again. Though that probably won't stop you from worrying next time...but that's just a part of being a writer, I think. :)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-54702190144093132642015-05-05T06:29:18.094-07:002015-05-05T06:29:18.094-07:00My biggest fear is that I won't be able to mak...My biggest fear is that I won't be able to make my vague idea complex. My first real concept was pretty simple, and as I plotted and wrote it blossomed into a wonderfully intricate plot. Now I worry, especially with the sequel(s), if I can do it again. I have the bare bones worked out, but will I be able to flesh it out like the first? I've seen a lot of other series kind of run into that wall. Maybe it had to do with deadlines, which is not much of a comfort either.<br />One thing that has helped so far is to just keep writing. My betas all wanted to know about certain elements of my novel's backstory, and because I wanted to explain it to them, I started writing it with the idea of sending it to them as a thank you. It was simple when I started, but it is becoming incredibly intense and rich in its own right. That this just-for-love-and-fun project has so effortlessly ripened gives me a sense of hope. So I'll keep writing. It worked before.Erinnoreply@blogger.com
