Sir Potato

@sir_potato161, it's fine. Remember to focus on your life before focusing on your story. The story can always be finished later. Bills are more pressing.

I meant to say almost a year in the update thing. Last update was July 23. 103 days until July 23rd. 8 months and 14 days since the last update. 2/3 of a year since the last update. 

What happened with your other account?

@sir_potato161 wow, this is a great post, hope you go bigger and beyond with this story and others

@sir_potato161. Ooo, Nice can't wait to see it.

This is really interesting. I’ll let you know if I end up adding this. I probably will!

@sir_potato161 checkin it out rn

@sir_potato161 Don't worry. If it's in the plan it's not pointless, it just has a purpose you haven't quite recognized, yet. 

@relatingewe Feel free to ask about any questions or tips, also! I want to help anyone willing to get better at writing.

@relatingewe Contextualize the back stories of your characters, look for flaws. Once you have your flaws listed brainstorm plotlines you can extend from those flaws, correcting them over the course of the story. Then you have a solid basis for your characters' conflict and story, and get creative with it. Loans, immoral deals, deaths, bullying, family issues, governmental oppression, corruption, incompetence, etc. There's a lot of options to propel a plot into action, and the interest is drawn by conflict, the climax feels greatest when we witness them overcome the problem.
            
            Also, don't be afraid to cut some characters. Say, instead of having both the old/toy groups just cut one or the other to streamline the cast and make the group simpler to comprehend, and/or mix and match with other groups like UCN cast or such. Try to reuse characters often, also. Never just throw a character away randomly after - say - a fight, bring them back with a vengeance and determination to drag down the person who got them. 

@sir_potato161 Considering I'm replying to this from next year, lol, inconsistency is forgivable for a hobby. I would suggest sticking to a concrete story rather than a CYOA system. You can easily end up in a scenario where characters do things which don't make logical sense to their beliefs, motivations, etc. 
            
            Take some time to take a look at everyone; ascertain their reasons behind doing stuff. Foxy's a product of being orphaned? Maybe he has attachment/connection issues and is overly focused on becoming a successful person - or ironically - he's already given up before life has started. I've been writing a story recently with a character similar to that, however, he had his family killed after he tried to turn his life around. It causes him to suffer from extreme issues with intimacy/friendships and his story focuses heavily on his growth to overcome his traumas and recreate his life. In that, he's at odds with multiple others who rival and align with him, prompting immense confusion within the story which helps to show just how focused he had to become to live.
            
            After his "mate" of sorts died, he tried to sleep with someone who was related to someone else he hated and was sick to his gut because of it, prompting the fear of intimacy. So he wouldn't go and sleep around - adversely - he's probably extremely critical of it.
