general

by Melly Claire Kay ( melly )

if you are going to write a story don't get to personnally involved eg. naming the characters after yourself,

if you do get emotionally involved, all sorts of things could happen: writers block(not sure what you want for your self), getting bored with your story, hitting a really bad dead end.

i think if you make your characters a little different that you but not to much then you are more open to ideas.

The Challenge

if your (eg.) a 19 year old girl then write a story about a 22 year old woman or if you're a 25 year old man write a story about a 30 year old man, if you have brown hair make your character have blsack hair & so on
