Guys I love my OCs so much.
I thought I'd have more to say but that's the thought. I'm ruminating right now on drafts, looking through the many many times I obtained an interest and stopped to think...what if I wrote a fanfic? Then wrote half of one and gave up. I've always felt insecure about writing other people's characters, even if people don't seem to have a problem with or even enjoy my characterization, even if it's a character I really enjoy or have analyzed a lot myself. It's my curse.
However comma, I love making OCs. I feel like if I ever share just how many OCs I have cooked in the pile it'll be too much for the world to handle, because I have So Many with writing I don't want to go unseen. But at the same time, I get plagued with a sense of insecurity regarding how I love my OCs.
For me, writing is about the Vibe. I'm much more into painting an overarching idea using themes and imagery and other literary stuff. I don't really like making detail lists of what inspired my characters, or their favorite foods or other obscure facts unless I'm really bored and doing it for a specific group of characters. Even then it's very rare...I've always felt like getting bored in the details with my writing has held me back from like...writing my OCs properly.
But that's dumb. Who CARES!! The vibe is the best part. I will not let anyone stop me anymore. If you're like me, take this as a sign that you're not alone. I am your ally in making OCs about the themes and not the details. One day we'll grow so powerful we'll be able to kill god.
