| Strange as it may be, RPing helps alot for writing, plus its easier to drop into without being too serious. ERP till you become the next G.R.R.Martin
| I'm not all too experienced but I've been taking creative writing courses for a while now and you should start off with world building/lore. In my experience it helps you get a grip on your own world and helps in designing characters that fit into it.
| I'm not all too experienced, but start off with world building/lore. That way it is easier to design characters that fit into your world and think of potential plotlines.
| Try to read Story by Robert McKee
| I was talking to my friend the other day about him making a comic series. Hes really inspired by One Piece and wants to emulate that style. I gave him this advice:
| >>268059 You must first establish your setting. Then you must establish your characters. Then you must establish the Two most important things to your story. 1) "What it's about". What is the literal plot of your story. What do the chatacters do and say and feel that drive your exposition, climax, and resolution.
| >>268062 2) "What it's REALLY about" aka the theme, the moral, or the lesson. Your work needs to share something youve learned about the world. It can be serious or comical but it should be true to your heart. What is a lesson or a fact of life that you want people to realize and how is it shown in your story. Having this moral built into your story will give it more importance to it, as youre reflecting some nature of the real world. And it gives your actions more meaning.
| As far as experience goes, Ive written a couple stories, but I know these things because Senior year English class made me realize how well decent storytelling elements can work together to make something really cool and complex. Its made me hypercritical of any media I consume because I love seeing the details and moods the writer was shooting for. Im also really good at making a mountain of worldbuilding.
| (I'm the OP btw) Is it fine if you give your own stories your own twist,like you write your story as if you're the character,like for example you write vaguely cause the character is careless or you write in too much details cause your character is too serious?
| >>268538 well if the study is told from character's perspective it makes sense that their way of thinking reflects in the narrative they tell. it's nothing new
| Remember that everybody in your book are people and not characters. Give them a full personality. Loves and hates. Phobias. Bad and good memories. Past loves and crushes etc etc
