writers_loft just to pimp your comm, it's impolite and I will most likely delete those posts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do any of you have any requests for topic subjects to discuss?
On the creative side of things.
I have several character and world building posts planned out already but do you have specific areas you'd like focus on? Other things on the creative side?
The nuts and bolts of writing.
How about things to do with plot, structure, dialogue, setting, scene, conflict and etc.?
After the first draft is done then what?
Revision, rewrites and editing, proofreading, spellchecking, grammar, punctuation, beta readers and critiques.
The business end of the writing gig.
The query process, agent search, publishing, after the sale is made, getting paid, royalties, copyrights, can you make a living as a author, should you quit your day job?
Something else?
If you can describe what you want to discuss in more detail than just 'plot or grammar' it would be a help and if you say, 'everything', I'll fly over and eat you messily and with loud crunchings so do try to be a little more specific. ;-)

The one and only time I modeled a character after a real person I just took an aspect of personality from that person.
Say you know someone who is narcissistic, it is a dominant characteristic of this person, you could use that characteristic to help you develop the narcissistic character. Imagining what the real person would do and how they would act can help you 'get into character' when you write scenes with your narcissistic character. You'd sort of be looking through narcissistic coloured glass when you were working with this character and everything they did, thought and said would be influenced by it.
