Method
writing…
Like method acting, method writing can be a unique way to get yourself deeply
enthralled in your story. I don't know if method writing is even a word/phrase,
but it is the best way for me to give a short description of what I'm trying to
say.
Before every story, I meet up with my characters and have a "kind of"
get together, of sorts, to see how they interact. Based on that, I decide who
will be included in the story and who will be put on the back burner until
another story comes my way. Each character is different and has a use, but
sometimes their use is limited to one specific story line and not another.
I meet my characters in real life, dreams, movies, other dimensions,
television, malls, restaurants, get-togethers, conventions, and many other
ways.
Sometimes I even get my friends together and role play, as a particular
character, to see what comes about. It can be a lot of fun and add a unique
depth to a character's personality. They even do things that you would never
expect them to do, which is an added element of fun.
With that in mind, if you ever come across me and I happen to be acting a bit
strange, or not quite like myself, I'm most likely in character. Be forewarned,
I rarely break character, while method writing. But I can assure you that I
will NEVER harm anyone or myself, even while in some of my darker
personalities. So you are safe with me. My soul is too pure and full of love
for that. As crazy as I may be, I am not some schizoid with a major multiple
personality disorder --- Notice I said major ;)
