But enough with excuses, my time hasn't exactly been productive with this various world building and character creation malarkey. Usually I will just write and I will have no plans at all. In my head it's almost like there are files on each character and what they are like and all that kind of thing. Everything unfolds with some kind of sense about it.
I found character building and planning so hard. So I stopped, and I know that's bad but this whole planning thing is not what I do at all. I have decided to just write a first person novel from a female perspective for a genre which is quite dominated by men: fantasy.
I do take pride in creating flawed characters. The main woman will be extremely arrogant and immature at first. However as the story progresses I am hoping for a turnaround in her personality if it suits the story at hand.
One of the main men, this girl's brother will be completely different. Noble and a natural leader, he is suited to becoming a force to be reckoned with. However I would say his inexperience as a leader means he is naive.
And as for the world? In my head I know how it looks, there are separate countries and the novel is just one country's struggle.
So currently for me, I'm writing the first chapter to inspire me to hopefully get some planning down so I know what I need to do. I need to not focus on how others plan, but use my version of planning myself!
