I have things planned for every character like what they're doing down the road and coming to different realizations but I don't have how they overlap.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In writing a series of stories about the same characters, plan the whole series in advance in some detail, to avoid contradictions and inconsistencies.
The goal is to have every character take on a life of his or her own. Sometimes characters will come into the story that I haven't planned.
Normally, when you're working on something, there are other characters that you have alliances with, and you have unified goals with some characters.
There starts to be an overlap between you and the character.
I want to do a lot of different characters - definitely not always the same kind of character. I love that life provides so many choices, and I want to be able to experience that.
I love playing different characters all the time, so I'm concentrating on doing other stuff.
You jot down ideas, memories, whatever, concerning your real life that somehow parallels the character you're playing, and you incorporate that in your scene work.
Whichever character I'm using and wherever I am in my mind dictates what kind of story I'm going to tell.
When I work on a novel, I usually have one character and a setting in mind.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
