I recently have jumped right in to making characters out of nothing, and so far I've done pretty well in developing them and creating universes. The thing is, I don't really know how to make a story out of it. Does anyone have any tips for coming up with plots?
Well, look at your main character. Like your Main, main character. What do they want most in life? Love? Money? Power? Peace? Quiet? And whatever they want, whatever it is that they would give anything for, take that and SMASH it lol. No i'm just kidding xD. But for real, whatever they want most, find a way to keep them from getting it. Maybe someone dies, a villain tries to stop them. They get lost. Anything.
Here is an example. In my story, my main character wants to live a normal life, with normal friends and normal love, but then, she and her friends get thrown into another universe and are forced to try and save the world! :D So of course, that is anything but normal, the exact thing my character wants.
Anyways, hope I helped!
@Celestial-B yes this actually does help me so much! I was getting ready to just accept that I'm never gonna actually do anything with my characters but now I can see a whole world opening up to me⦠Hopefully I get enough sleep tonight because I'm not sure how I'll rest after this!
