As I get closer and closer to the ability to start revising the work I spent nearly a year writing, the more I feel like I am 1000% incapable of characterizing correctly. I feel like every character came out completely wrong, and their character growth (when present at all) was random, sporadic, and inconsistent. 😭
I hope it isn't really that bad, but...I'm afraid that it is. And it's making me dread the editing and rewriting process even more than usual.
...
...unfortunately, I don't really have a lot to say other than that. I've been on something of a writing hiatus lately, as I've been trying to unwind my brain a bit after spending eleven months writing something that massive. Also I've been doing prep work for the editing process, so...there hasn't really been much going on. (And this month's suggested question was not useful for a post for me, since the answer would simply be "no.")
(Though I could complain about how Blogger has changed the way pictures are added to posts, making it now completely impossible for me to add pictures when I'm writing a post on my phone. But I don't think anyone wants to hear that.)
Ah, those uncooperating characters! Now that you have the story written, you can concentrate more on drilling them into shape.
