[quote=@SleepingSilence] [@Demon Shinobi] Okay. Thanks for clarifying. I think I have something that I'd -like- to happen for character growth. Though for archetypes and tropes they're supposed to fill or avert/subvert. I don't tend to write based around existing tropes or archetypes. But if I read a characters personality and their strengths/weaknesses. I should already kind of know what archetype/trope they may be, or based on. If someone is full of edge and is a loner, and puts "team leader" for their intended archetype. I'll be like, how does that make sense? I guess the point is seeing if you actually understand the character you wrote and having it simplified, so it doesn't have to inferred by others. Also I know what I'd -like- to happen for my character is the broadest sense. But that really should depend on how other characters and my digimon partner interacts with me. The story should shape/change are characters and it hasn't started yet. ;P My character for instance has a hang up about the opposite sex because of a past incident, that I'd like for her to get over that. But I won't warm up to people, if they all decide to be terrible to my character. Which isn't even out of left field for their characters to do, because my character will have abrasive attitude toward them. Sometimes people change and not always for the better, after all. I suppose I'll read what I wrote last night, make sure it's not a total mess. Fish out some kind of quote that make senses and write something for my goal and be sending it for inspection to see if everything looks good. [/quote] Try not to get into your head too much. What I'm writing as examples aren't requirements. More like suggestions or possible ideas for those who might get stuck. Now I understand completely what you're getting at. What you want and what will happen are two different things. But it is more so about developing an sense of what you want and showing that you aren't going in blind. Plus I find it helps for the writing process. It's also a bit of force practice on myself as an English major/tutor and what not lol
