geminianeyes | [Meme] Nano is going both harder

And easier than I thought. 6865 words written, and I’m already feeling like I want to burn this manuscript. Missing details, an intro by Yura, random characters popping in and out, and I haven’t been able to work in my main villains yet! Argh! Oh wait, there was one villain whom I managed to slip in. Which would be interesting to see if she really pans out. Though her name’s easily obvious once you realise I’m an Ubuntu fangirl. >>

Onto meme!

How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
For how I get ideas, please see here.

As for creating them… they come into being as and when I need them. I don’t usually create characters beforehand unless I’ve done some outlining and plot thinking beforehand (which is usually Nano) but most times they appear as the scene demands. Like their names, most are throwaways, but if any of them impress me, then I might keep them, which is how Deb and Rasenkal came to stay.

Now, onto dinner!
