how do you do words?

[certainthings]

When you write stories, how do you do it?

Do the characters talk to you and tell you what they want to say and what actions they want to engage in and such.

Or.

Do you force them into situations, tell them what to say and how they're going to say it?

Can you feel the story as you're writing or do you feel it after? Do you feel your story at all?

Tell me all things about how you write, please.

When I'm role playing the characters talk to me and tell me what they want me to do with them. As for actually writing a story, it's kind of the opposite I guess. I just get a plot idea and then figure it all out in my head before I actually write it down.

Oh, that's interesting. Why do you think the rp characters talk to you but the others don't?

And is it difficult getting it from your head to the paper?

I really don't know. It's just always kind of been that way. Though sometimes they throw fits if I try to do something they dislike. They never get their way though.

Yeah but only because I'm a horrible procrastinator. It's easier with rp though. If something strikes me with an rp character I usually try to run with it as soon as possible. Not so much when I'm just writing a story. I usually have to do that right away or else I don't do it. Procrastination at it's worst.
