30 Days of Writing Questions - Day 2

2. How many characters do you have?

Do you prefer males or females?

Wow dude, I can't even count that high! Between all five main universes (not even counting the 20-25 other stories and books I've got half started), there are at least...I don't know...probably close to 500? I mean there's a LOT of characters, which happens in a TV show. The Destiverse alone has 135 characters that have names (spread out over the course of 10-12 books though, so not all at once!) Hell, Ketlan's family tree has 61 characters in it! (theyre not all well defined though.) I like to make characters, and I probably have way too many but I enjoy the process of creating a character so even some of the "guards in the hall" have names and backstories (that no one will ever really know about though).

I tend to prefer females simply because it's easier for me to write females more believeably since...I'm a female. It makes sense. I will say that I don't have a lot of female villains though. I need to work on that.

  1. I like the collage, though Balthazar and Melantha are positioned just perfectly to make me wonder what the MacLeods are looking at. :)

  2. OMG, I hadn't even noticed that! They're probably looking at the script.
