Hello again. As described in my last post, I am starting to write a series of short stories. However, I had a few questions:
1. Do I have to write my friend's personalities parallel to how they are in real life?
In my short story series, I am writing my friends and myself as characters. Do I have to make them talk and act exactly like they do in real life? I don't know exactly how all of my friends would react to things in real life, so this would be pretty difficult.
2. Does my character have to be parallel to me?
I am obviously going to write my character resembling my real life self, but can II deviate a bit? After all, it is fiction? Can I add aspects to my life I wish I had (not including the epic powers and adventures) and keep some things out (a.k.a. my OCD)? I have always wanted a younger brother, so can I make my character have one? I don't want my character to have OCD (which I have in real life) either, so can I exclude that?
3. How do I dig through my mind for ideas for my opening story and the rest of them?
For stories I've been imaging for years, it sure is hard to get them on paper? I want the opening story to include an introduction to my character and a few others, Discovering The Vest of Knowledge, the main villain(s), and perhaps a bit of history behind The Vest of Knowledge (not all of it, though!). Any ideas for brainstorming? Anything else you think I should include in the opening story?
These are just some questions I'm asking myself, and I would love your input!!! Thank you, everyone!!!!!
