Ways to get to know your characters:
These are just some ways I do t, feel free to add your own tips!
Google sheets. Just google sheets. Make a sheet for your story and create categories to fill on your character's traits. Very simple example:
2. Making Pinterest boards. Listen maybe I'm biased because I'm on Pinterest more than I'm on Tumblr and it gives me the most intense nostalgia of any website/app ever, but it may be my most helpful tactic. This works in plenty of ways. Making a board for one story's character designs and making individual categories for each character in that board. Making individual board for each character's design, aesthetic, personality, whatever. No example but I think you get it.
3. I might sound like you lame ass ELA teacher from 9th grade or whatever when I say this, but plot mountains are really helpful. Now I don't mean the plot plot for all you, "I just start writing and am as surprised as my characters when everything goes to shit." writers like me, I'm talking about an internal plot. To explain, there is an external plot (exposition, rising action, climax, etc.) and internal plot (character development,) making external plot mountains isn't helpful for me because I want freedom in my writing. I know where it starts and sometimes where it stops and that's good enough, but writing the development of a character is good to outline just for the foreshadowing and because CHARACTER FLAWS ARE FUCKING IMPORTANT. (Cue the one post about eating mayo packets)
4. Mark their birthdays in your calendar. Like google calendar or whatever the fuck you use. Anyway, dedicate their birthday to just getting to know them. Make a wish list of presents they'd like, or a slideshow about the party activities they'd like, or a pinterest board about what their party theme would be. It's fun, I swear.
5. Make lists of a bunch of stuff. Their flaws, their strengths, their favourite thing, their pet peeves, their favourite people, their pets, their little quirks they have, etc.
6. Physical objects. Make them, buy them, or just stuff you already have. Make a little box of things they'd like or have. Treat them like a friend. A real person. It'll inspire you to write or draw more and you can come up with little backstories on the items.
7. Give them a catchphrase. Even if they never say it, it's cute. I like them. Most people do, I think.

On Top of The World – Literally
What’s one perk about applying to #BeAnAstronaut? You’re one step closer to being on top of the world.
Part of the job of a NASA astronaut is a task called spacewalking. Spacewalking refers to any time an astronaut gets out of a vehicle while in space; it is performed for many reasons such as completing repairs outside the International Space Station, conducting science experiments and testing new equipment.
Spacewalking can last anywhere from five to eight hours, and for that reason, astronauts’ spacesuits are more like mini-spacecraft than uniforms! Inside spacesuits, astronauts have the oxygen they need to breathe, water to drink and a bathroom!
Spacesuits also protect astronauts from the extreme environment of space. In Earth orbit, conditions can be as cold as minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit. In the sunlight, they can be as hot as 250 degrees. A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures.
To stay safe during spacewalks, astronauts are tethered to the International Space Station. The tethers, like ropes, are hooked to the astronaut and the space station – ensuring the astronaut does not float away into space.
Spacewalking can be a demanding task. Astronauts can burn anywhere from ~1500-2500 calories during one full assignment. That’s about equal to running 2/3 of a marathon.
Does spacewalking sound like something you’d be interested in? If so, you might want to APPLY to #BeAnAstronaut! Applications are open until March 31. Don’t miss your chance to!
Want to learn more about what it takes to be an astronaut? Or, maybe you just want more epic images. Either way, check out nasa.gov/astronauts for all your NASA astronaut needs!

Let life meet you where faith begins.
Learn how to be fluent in silence so that you can be directed accordingly.
Breathe new love into your soul.
Your blame blinds you from taking personal responsibility.
Being single and celibate is a necessary beautiful and precious journey. This time spent alone offers an opportunity for healing and a recalibration of your energetic system that you just can’t get with searching for outside comfort and validation—it’s an experience that can only be fully realised when you dedicate yourself to self-discovery.
Embrace your freedom; it is a vital aspect of uncovering your true self, building your foundation and aligning with the deepest truths of your heart.
You can’t control your feelings, but you can control your emotions.
"It's ridiculous to say, 'I don't care what anyone says about me,' because that's not possible. But you can decide whose opinions matter more and whose opinions you put more weight on"

MCSM - Xara (American Doll Posse AU)
~~~~~~~~~~
American Doll Posse is an album released by Tori Amos and is not commonly recognized among fans because it can include controversial and personal topics, such as the fact it is based on the woman's psyche, or at least in Amos's design. If I had to choose Xara for a cosplay art of one of the muses, she would be Isabel-- a photographer who is the most outwardly political of the group of dolls. Isabel opens the album with "Yo George," for which questions the so-called commander about the dark road he and his crooked men have led us to. She nearly closes the album with the antiwar anthem, "Dark Side of the Sun." ~~~~~~~~~~ Citation- http://yessaid.com/2007americandollposse.html ~~~~~~~~~~ Xara @ TellTale Games ~~~~~~~~~~ (Sorry, I can not find the background I used, but I do not claim it to be my own.) ~~~~~~~~~~ Minecraft Story Mode @ TellTale Games American Doll Posse @ Tori Amos ~~~~~~~~~~
