17k into my monster romance novella and roughly halfway though, the sparks are sparkling between Zale and Murray. There may have been a kiss.

They have so many secrets, from each other and the crew, it going to go so wrong in the third act, I can't wait to write it🙈

Today, we live fast paced digital lives filled with bit-size dopamine fixes that scratches our surface level itch. Despite the temporary high, it doesn't bring us a lasting sense of fulfillment and community. Writing does.

⭐ I don't get into character charts and writing guides.

⭐ Going like, "I guess my character has brown hair and likes Frapuccinos" never made sense to me.

⭐So I made this thought experiment instead. Just have coffee with your character.

Me: "I've got this new story that I don't just feel like talking/blogging about, I actually feel like WRITING it, or at least some of it. I've got time, I've got a few hours to spare today, I can maybe get a chapter written and-"
MY BODY: "...no. <3" *(shuts down)*

Should I write a meaningful novel about race, gender and becoming? Should I write a romantic comedy about a woman with 562 days to find love? 🤷🏽‍♂️

(Don't say both; I don't have the energy)

But the other personality traits are basically -NFJ for the most part, as far as I'm concerned. Both introverted and extroverted, it depends on the day. Every person is different, with different personalities. That's why we have neurodiversity.

-or deal with walking home in busy Saturday afternoon traffic and have a complete panic attack doing so.
That is why, even on a beautiful day, I want to be with people I care about, but I also want to stay home. That's my anxiety for you.

-hardly any sidewalk for me to move to avoid being hit by a car or pickup truck. As a person who's been hit by a car in her mid 20s, now suffering from mental illness and chronic migraines, I had to choose either deal with the crowded Panera...

I felt pretty good and even keeled until that moment, then I froze for a few minutes, until I couldn't handle it any longer, and fight or flight was engaged. My only option at that point was to walk home, in busy traffic, where there's...

-to the point where I feel like I'm at a rock concert and I can't hear myself think. That happened last Saturday at Panera when I joined my stitching crafting group that morning, and at noon, the Panera restaurant was FLOODED with people...

-For me, it has to do with my anxiety that fluctuates in waves, and the agoraphobia (fear of being in public) that comes with it.
When I'm in a public place, I prefer to be in a mild setting to write or crochet, but never too crowded...

-Aurora has a hard shell on the outside, but really soft on the inside, and her introversion/ extroversion fluctuates. Lady Dianne is definitely an introvert who doesn't want to go to a ball, but she wants to help in some small way...

...I don't identify as just introverted or extroverted, because it literally depends on the day! I'm a bit of BOTH introversion AND extroversion! It's interchangeable with me and a couple of my neurodivergent characters...

To be honest with you, I don't believe in the Myers-Briggs "16 Personality Types" theory that there are 16 different personalities. There is only ONE you.
My characters are all different, but have a bit of me in them. My personality type? #ownvoices
