>>55622444Don't force it. One of the single most important things I've learned as a writer is to not force the inspiration. It always comes and if you do it before it makes for sloppy work.
I always find that consuming media, be it TV, games, manga or a book helps. I got inspiration yesterday for the Ayame-Anon thing from fucking Fruits Basket of all things lol. You always find it where you least expect it.
>>55571802>Like despite Watame's shitty situation she was dealt since she was a small sheep, she retained this naturally bright optimism that is actually close in line with how the actual one approaches her lifeI never even thought about it in that light. I guess what's more important that it being 100% without fail exactly like the character is that her core remains true to character. Despite the situation, Watame is very kind at heart. If I were to write the twins in a similar situation, the most important thing to never change is their bond and the banter they have as siblings, even though they would act far different in a world like Balsa. Honestly that is a brilliant way to see it because I've always had a huge, huge struggle with trying to balance character accuracy with the tone of the plot.
Your critiques are always very helpful and informative. I greatly appreciate them. My book has benefited greatly from your input.
