Characters

Maybe I'm weird. (This is the part where you say "No not at all Scott!") Anyways when writing my characters are important to me. To me they aren't just simple characters. They're actual people that I've invented. And my story One For All is my current baby and I love my characters to death. They've each got a different part of me in them. They've come alive and I want people to like them, but I also want people to realize that they have all got their own flaws. I think it's important to really flesh out the characters.

I also really strive for making them realistic. I love stories that are realistic and I want to have them in my own writing as well.

For my characters I'd like to think that I know them really well. That is how an idea was sparked in my mind.   Writing my story One For All I come across moments and backstories that I know won't make it into the actual story.

So I'm thinking of writing down these moments and making a little collection of short stories that takes place in the world of OFA.

These stories would consist of moments like Mason and Aiden's first meeting and becoming friends. Owen and Mads meeting and becoming friends. The incident that caused Noah and his family to move to the town. A favorite memory between Declan and his grandpa. And it'll include some chapters that will be in OFA such as Darren's POV chapters and Ben's POV and other such goodies.

I think I will be posting this sometime in the future. I'm excited for people to get to know my characters just as well as I do!
