A day in the life …

On May 10, 2020 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Ever wondered what would happen if you let your characters lose to write a journal entry about their experiences with you at the helm of their story, or their life in your heads?  Well, I thought I’d give it a go …  “Dear Diary Day … 10091812 actually, forget that I’ve lost count.  I’m not …

A little magic …

On April 26, 2020 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

There are times that we hate our characters.  And sometimes, we really hate them.  They do what they want.  You want them to do one thing, they tell you where to go and do what they want, and in the process change the entirety of the story that you had plotted out.  Then, there’s that …

Back in the Game!

On February 9, 2020 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

So, I think it’s fair to say that for the past year Charlotte and I have been struggling.  Our writing was suffering and more importantly so were our characters. Not for any particular reason, mainly because we weren’t realising what we were doing to our writing but also because of various things going on in …

Keep calm and write on!

On April 19, 2019 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

As it stands, between Charlotte and I we have over 300 characters.  Not all of these are main characters and a fair few will be NPC or secondary characters by the time we’re actually done with things.  Some of these characters have been with us since day one and others are only a matter of …

Challenges

Sometimes, when writing it’s very easy to forget that there are heroes and that there are villains.  I’ll be the first to admit that I can wax lyrical about villains and how they deserve the same treatment as heroes in a story; but I’m also very bad at practicing what I preach.  It’s easy to …

We’re Back!

On January 20, 2019 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

So, Charlotte and I took a break.  Not from writing, just from blogging and a few other things so that we could focus on our writing and get ourselves into some sort of shape for the New Year.  We are very easily distracted and adding things in like social media, blogging or anything else really …

“Life finds a way”

On July 15, 2018 By Charlotte and ClaraIn Uncategorized, WritingLeave a comment

Shuffling people around and you don’t expect it to have much of an impact.  Or at least, that’s what Charlotte and I somehow keep fooling ourselves with.  If we move person x to family y then what’s the worst that can happen?  We get a fully functioning family and character that’s more fleshed out and …

Catching Up

On July 8, 2018 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

As the coffee is slowly making it’s way through our systems, waking us up and preparing us for the day to come, we’re settling in to get back to sorting things out. With a project on this scale, organisation is vital. It’s very easy for us to loose track of where we are, what we’re doing, and who we’re …

Progress

On June 24, 2018June 24, 2018 By Charlotte and ClaraIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Developing characters is a treat. 10% of building a character is determining some features and a name. The rest? That's mostly down to them. We don't get a say in their personalities, their traits, everything that makes them unique. We have always tried to. We've tried making them a specific type of person, a good guy …

sabotage

On June 17, 2018 By Charlotte and ClaraIn Uncategorized, WritingLeave a comment

Sometimes, Charlotte and I are just that good.  Sometimes, we stagger ourselves with the amount of sheer brilliance we have.  No, scratch that … it’s not brilliance, it’s utter stupidity and self sabotage.  We’ve been talking for a while now about how utterly brilliant we are at self sabotage, at destroying our own pieces of …
