I have a character who, upon first impression, you dislike them, but that's because they aren't the best with social cues due to an autism (self project much?) and has a few tics that come about because Tourette's. If you actually take the time to get to know Lee, you slowly understand how they tick and actually really like having them around, they are a bit weird and abrasive at times but the kindest person you'll ever meet and very empathetic, just not the best at showing it. This gives reason for Lee to be more of a lone wolf, even if they are very kind and caring. Try writing something along these lines?

It's more realistic and gives the character a whole lot more depth, not to brag. Just steal from life experiences, and study people! It's what I do and my writing turned out great, at least to me I guess, lol.

It sounds unrealistic. Why would the people who know him hate him?

It has to do with his back story and who his parents were. That's why people all hate him.

Some of my story ideas!

  • The disappearances of several men and women come to the attention of Sam and Dean. After the victims disappear a statue of them is found where they disappeared from a few days later. (SPN: Cold as Stone)

  • A story revolving around a family of hitmen/contract killers

  • A husband and father investigates the sudden, tragic deaths of his sister and daughter, all while trying to cope with grief and family life.

  • A man becomes a widower under unexpected mysterious circumstances. Some time later he meets and falls for a woman, whom his children love. Both have mysterious pasts, and one of them plots the death of the other. (Black Widow)

So they're biased/prejudice towards the dude and his family….

Um… well yes, but, and hear me out on this, his father was a monster and his mother was what was considered a witch. Well she was until they executed her in front of him at the age of twelve. That and he technically has a demon living within him. That and he was not really suppose to happen. His mother loved him to no end but, she was… raped. Yeah he has a really dark back story.

Alright, I'm trying to name the book idea I had from the RP and I don't have much so far.
The best I got right now is "Dungeons but more Dragons." Not the best thing ever but it's a start.

I actually did look at this exact page, I just really don’t have enough to my story. Thanks anyways!

Work on your story some more then; something should eventually come to you!

I would start writing already, but I’m still not sure what characters to use and how many and how they’re gonna work together.

Here's a tragic backstory for one of my characters!

Levi grew up with his brother, Oliver, and their abusive, alcoholic mother. Their father left while Levi was a baby, and Oliver, a toddler. He would use reading and drawing to escape the world that he lived in. One day, while Levi was being abused by their mother, Oliver decided to defend his little brother; accidentally killing their mom in the process. This happened when Oliver was 18, and Levi was 14. Oliver decided to continue to take care of Levi like he had been doing.
While in high school, he fell in love with the TV series, Supernatural. During his time in between high school and college, he had wrote and published several best selling books; earning a large profit from the sales. Funded partly by Oliver, Levi went to college where he decided to study art and literature. Upon graduating from college, Levi found out that Oliver sadly passed away in a motorcycle accident, which fueled his hatred for motorcycles. He does, however, enjoy looking at them.
While battling his depression, Levi found out that there was an opening for a Art and Literature teaching position at Winchester High. He then found out that there was a psychotic murderer killing his students, and discovered that he can see through the eyes of the killer at the exact time that a crime is taking place. He discovered this when he first read an article about the murders In the newspaper.

I’ve got a new work coming up called Blasphemy. No idea about the plot, I’ve done sketches here and there but nothing official.

It’s going to be a bit of a darker story but not grimdark, if that says anything.

So today I was going to start working on some character introductions for my story to post on my writing tumblr. Instead I made a comic sans power point about my story that literally nobody asked for. You can look at it here if you want.

(also, I gotta give a shoutout to @amber_demeter for helping me with the title. This story has had like 18 different titles and all of them sucked so it's good to have one that finally doesn't)

I love it??
And honestly I love those writerblr powerpoint pitches sooo much!!!
Also wtf spellcheck you spelled pyrokinetic right??

@Starfast group

Haha thank you! I worked weirdly hard on it.

Also yeah spell check is dumb. There actually was a way for me to get rid of the squiggly red line but I kept it there so I could make that dumb joke.

I’m making another story/world, as of now it’s just called Gears that Spin. It’s sort of steampunk-ish with a few different touches of my own.

It’s still in early stages but I like how it’s looking right now and I’ll probably illustrate some scenes that I have in mind from it.
