Nice job, we used to have somthing like this but we lost it on the move to this 4m. :D It really helps to have these.
Yes, I'm going to be adding sensory words and other things too.
Title: Re: Writer's Block?
Post by: Red on July 04, 2008, 04:23:00 AM
hmm, Sensory words would add on to some stuff but not much I allways like learning new words though. Nice idea  [nin2]
Well, whatever helps and even if it just exists to make the forum look better, then I'm going to do it.

((I usually characterize my people in RPs, I dislike having to make bios.))


Character Biographies are not only for others help understand your character, but to help you create the guildelines and boundaries for your posts. Not having a bio is similar to having to write a large essay on paper without lines. Just thought I would throw this little hint/tip out there.

Also, it not only allows others to understand where your character comes from, it also imprints a simple image or basic idea of your character when we interact with them. Something to keep in mind while thinking of something to do.

Well put, thanks for the extra note on my comment. I really hope for this thread to become helpful to those who need help with ideas and to further one's writing ability. So anything and everything helps. Please post a tip, example, and or hint whenever you can.
