Or in other words, Wilson, you're slowly but surely going back into hermitism?
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Thanks,

Yeah, can definitely see where you're coming from. Because generally, the first scene is sort of there in your head, but then if you don't write it down there and then, you forget it.... but if it's written, you can see where it's going to go next a bit easier?
.....Or something...

Oh, and on another note------- I have trouble with keeping my 'point of view' character.
Admittedly, it's not something I understand very well yet... so any advice would be appreciated. You'll probably see what i mean after tomorrow's submission... heh.

Outlining would probably be a good idea... I have the tendency to have an overview of where I want things to go... but then hate the first bit, and lose motivation to go back to the rest (let's see how long it takes before I take my name off the email submissions due to hating the stuff I'm writing lol).
But yeah, outlining and actually planning stuff instead of just diving right into it would probably be the best thing to do... Thanks

Wow... seems some people are much more open about their weaknesses, and don't praise themselves enough for their strengths...
So, to join in with that...
Strengths: I'm an ideas person sometimes. Like, I'll have an idea in my head, or an opening line, and then begin to work around that. So generally have about 4 ideas bobbing around in my mind to work with.
Weaknesses: I write the first chapter/scene/whatever, re-read it, hate it, and refuse to carry on. Basically "I suck and I'm a horrible writer". Another one is that I don't really think about what I'm writing... just write it. Same goes for talking in general, I guess.
Another weakness is structure... I write really short paragraphs... so they're almost like bullet points.
Oh, and I tell.... instead of show.

And we have a logo(ish)?
Oh... and I'll let you know if there is? Though at the moment, it's kinda lonely....

That's actually a really good idea!! It's like... each status is a different chapter of the character's life.... kinda like an autobiography...
