Hello Again

I HAVE DISCOVERED HOW TO MAKE EDITS ON CANVA I AM UNSTOPPABLE

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

I AM BACK!

I haven't been posting a lot, especially about 3:10 to Yuma, but I have returned and still with my love for the film😋

I have updated the fanfic I've been working on and I hope I am able to continue working on the chapters! 😁😁😁

3:10 to Yuma on Netflix !!

They put 3:10 to Yuma into Netflix, I'm so happy they did! It feels like the fandoms reviving just even a little bit. Good golly! It really is a good film, the script is good for details, and the book is nice too, I haven't seen the original film but I plan to very soon! Also, check out these drawings I made of Dan Evans and Ben Wade!

(Yes I have a book of my favorite characters ever, except I have no printer so I had to learn how to draw.)

Stone and his motorbike should be talked about more
