Always Remember that the Best Remedy for Dealing With a Troubled Past is By Living in the Present. 🦋🦋🦋
"A great trick to getting what you want, fast, Anne, though one requiring a deep level of understanding, is "insistence." Not the kind, however, that expects "life" to behave a certain way, but the kind that expects you to behave a certain way. Yours truly, The Universe" I get #notesfromtheuniverse like this from @mikedooleytut on a daily basis, and I just love the happy, savvy, lush, clever, positive vibes of them so much! You can get on the Universe's mailing list too at tut.com Just a nice tip I wanted to share. They're so cute and funny, it reminded me of you, so I thought you might like it too! 🙃💖 (bij Hamb, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuqrsQjvGp/?igshid=nnsvb4ksnl6o

Characters & Viewpoints ~ Orson Scott Card
Chapter 1. What is a character?
I’ve listed the notes taken on character building from most important to least important.
A character is their:
Actions & motive: everyone acts a certain way but why do they act the way they do?
Past: “People are what they have done, and what have been done to them.” (8).
Reputation: what do other people think of you. Or more to the book, people gossip and from that, they make a snap judgment. What reputation does your character have with the others in your story?
Stereotype (w/in their job, sex, age, family role, race, ethnicity...): here, the author encourages us to use stereotypes to our advantage. we have to “count on” our readers to make these stereotypical judgments. “Characters who fit within a stereotype are familiar; we think we know them, and we aren’t all that interested in knowing them better. [...] Characters who violate a stereotype are interesting...” (11).
Habits/patterns: what they do on the regular basis and if they try to change it, why?
Talents/abilities: are they extremely gifted? In what away? Are they not?
Tastes & preferences: do they prefer to look or act a certain way?
Body: what do they look like?
Chapter 2. What makes a good fictional character?
There three questions readers ALWAYS ask within the first paragraph: So what? Why should they care? Oh yeah? This is the clue/explanation that should persuade readers to trust you. Huh? Make it clear. Make it believable.
YOU ARE THE FIRST AUDIENCE! - if you don’t care about what you’re writing, your audience also will not care.
Questions to always ask: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? (in my opinion, the best question) Interrogate the situation and your character. Brainstorm a list of possible ways that events can go wrong, but still, drive the story and your character to an outcome/solution.
WHY? Why is this happening? Why did the character act this way toward this event/person? * Don’t ever settle for your first answer. The first answer is always obvious and too static. Add a twist (the author talks more about this in chapter 3, page 50):
~Maybe character X isn’t out to kill character Y because Y killed X’s family. Maybe X is killing because (they think) it’s their duty to kill, or X is just deranged and obsessed, they think killing is the solution to their problem.
Notes from the Universe
Feeling gratitude in advance, before you even receive, as if you already had, whether for direction or abundance or anything else, opens the floodgates.

Notes from the Universe
There hasn't been one single day of your life, when the world hasn't been made a better place by your presence in it.
Kudos 🦋 The Universe
Notes from the Universe
There are no accidents.
If it's appeared on your life’s radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.
And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.
