@Thymoit: Yeah, I just realized I was totally out of the loop and was like, oh no! I felt bad. I will most definitely try to contribute this this thread so I make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else. I don't feel obligated, I just want to make sure I stay up to date. n-n<br/><br/>@MrsJaz: I know how you feel! I try not to allow my inexperience to discourage me, but it happens. Also, my spelling has suffered since I graduated high school and am now attending an art college, where I don't have to write and be graded on correct spelling/grammar nearly as much as it was in high school. And character development is undoubtedly a process. Characters are essentially extensions of our selves as well as, on a subconscious level, examples of what we aspire to be. At least, that's how I fashion my characters. I'm sure that through more experience I'll be able to create characters with greater variety and individual personality. All in good time. :]<br/><br/>@Seraph: I agree and understand everything you said! Characters do take a mind of their own, so to speak, and become different things situation depending or even because our own subconscious is putting an impression into them.<br/>Oh, and yes, putting spaces between paragraphs is a life saver. I need to make sure I do that more often to my post is more readable and less wall-o'-text-y. ^^;
