Entry 9

Keep your eyes and ears open. You can get so many ideas from everday things. Books, obviously, can be a big inspiration. What is it about your favorite book that makes you like it so much? Movies count. And music. Even videogames (woot) and boardgames can include one tiny thing that helps you out a lot. Try normal and boring things too. Like food. Crazy as it is, food can really make a character realistic. For example: I really don't think Lilia would like mayonnaise because she prefers to play it safe and stay simple. Yan on the other hand would love it because he loves to be daring and he can even enjoy making a mess. :) You don't even need to include it in the story, but you should talk about it with yourself. And them. Because talking tp your characters is totally normal and not schizophrenic. Hahaha. Whatever. I probably wrote about this already in another entry, but I think it's important. And I'm way off topic anyway. Yeah. That happens a lot.
