“Write what you know”The first rule of writing is to “Write What You Know.” What do you know? What are the experiences, settings, topics, issues, genres, themes and characters that you feel you can comfortably write about?What are the experiences, settings, topics, issues, genres, themes and characters that you are interested in enough to research in order to write about them more effectively?What are your limitations? In other words, what topics do you feel unknowledgeable about and think you should avoid?
Well, I have produced a series of characters that I feel comfortable to write about. In my spare time, I work on a game series line of characters, maps, items and more out of the ordinary that comes to offer. With each and every character that I had made so far, has been made 'special' and unique, each bearing a set of personal qualities, strengths and weaknesses. Characters can be clever at times or ever so dim-witted at their moments to shine, here to provide a handy comic relief. If they are the courageous hero or the sinister villain, they always seem to bring their motive out before them, even if the motive is the dumbest thing that you will ever hear.
I believe that I appear to lack the ability to successfully maintain one emotion over an extended period of time (or dialogue), I know how to produce it, but I can never seem to make it last for a given extra few minutes. For this weakness in my works comes around every once in a while, I always have to use a little bit of this comic relief just to keep it rolling without getting the more serious problems. The characters used in the situations tend to possess a alternative route within the plot line, based on their personality and actions. The hero defeats the villain, but maybe the villain may return... in some way or form. Taking that in mind, I would rather enjoy learned more about what I could do in order to make the characters that I made do something in greater detail, broadening the perspective.
