The urge to re-install the dating apps and swipe right on EVERY SINGLE WOMAN to get ONE MATCH so that I can tell her she reminds me of today's date.

You always have the best questions, Charlie! I’m thinking he would have been the one to introduce her to films by auteurs, movies that are artful and not just entertainment. As a result, they’d share a lot of the same sensibilities. 😊

Tok road hasn't come to an end and unfortunately it's a little uneven. Initially he doesn't allow himself to have agency. It was easier to just go along to get along. As the story continues he begins to take his agency back. The problem is, he still feels responsible for the promises he's made /1

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Let's talk about growth!🌱

Does your character change a lot over the course of the story?

If so, what about them do you think changes the most? Is it for the better, or for the worse?

Mem & Clara's most traumatic backstory event that shaped their lives was the death of their mom, Constance, when they were both just 8 years old. Constance had been dealing with guilt & depression for years because of her secret that one of the twins has a fake charagma. Not only 🧵

#PlotTober - a WIP plotting game by @gunsmile.bsky.social

10. What are some potential backstory or contextual reasons for your main character(s) having this kind of personality or behaving this way? In other words, what could have caused them to be the person they are at the start of your WIP?

Remember: Use the #PlotTober hashtag, engage with others, and have fun!

#PlotTober Day 10: MC backstory & traumas

Josh traces the downward spiral that his life has entered on the death of his high school sweetheart when they were in college.

After this, he failed out of his engineering program and fell into a series of dead-end jobs that he hates. 🧵

Happy #PlotTober 10!

Edie's anxiety and people pleasing are at least partially brain chemistry, but her father was largely absent from the beginning of her life and she was mostly influenced by her mother, Emily. Emily did everything she could to be a good mom, but her own insecurities interfered.

Wren lost her parents when she was 8 to an illness that was sweeping the city. They had gone to their country home to avoid it, but she wanted more books and her father indulged her, taking her with him into town on a quick business trip. 🧵

Annie appreciates her mom but thinks she’s a wet blanket and butts heads with her often. Her love of movies grew from those times when her dad would dip into her life and provide an escape from her mom’s strict rules and expectations. (2/2)

Annie was raised by a single mom who is, understandably, extremely practical & an utter realist. Annie’s dad is the flaky but charismatic sort. He shows up randomly to play hooky w/ Annie & take her to the cinema. She’s never stopped hoping that her parents will get back together. 1/2

#LGBTQWriteAThon 9. Alas, I don't have the fancy drawings I've seen today here (I do have a drawing of Ashrah holding a trans flag, but it's bad...), but here are some of the MCs and their flags!

A collage of Nitara and the lesbian flag.

A collage of Sareena and the aromantic flag.

A collage of Askaly and the pansexual flag.

I knowww, isn’t my brand new baby so cute? 😂

She’s a bit of a statement dresser, not in that her outfits are over-the-top, but more like she’s intentional about her aesthetic. She likes to play with masculine/feminine contrast. And always keeping an eye out for pieces that’ll work for costumes.
