Weebly wasn't even loading while I'm writing this, it's just got that circle thingy going for it; I'm actually writing this is ZenPen. Great program; so minimalist.
So we have to write our quote-on-quote 'bestest' blog post, what that means is I have to pound noisily on the keyboard to produce some words that look good together and string them into a few paragraphs, I hope; I originally assumed all I had to do what pick my best post and post it somewhere or something. Weebly is still loading. Anyway, this time I actually have an idea of what to write about, something that is best in a way, I guess.
A few weeks ago, I created a character (hint, he's in my Weebly arts section and has lots of blue); that character was going to be used in a right-now-nameless story in which he is the main character. So, I finished the first chapter yesterday, and sent it to a friend of mine who said she'd like to look at it. She said it was great and that I should write more, something I hope was not just her being nice. Anyway, I want to continue it because I so rarely do that with stories I write ( coughstoryintheenglishsectioncough), and I'm actually really into this character, whom I spent a LOT of time on; perhaps one of my favourites. I even made a google presentation because another friend wanted me to give her an overview of what this character was like ( and to make me elaborate on him)! Both my friends are very good with motivation as the latter friend got me to write the story in the first place with setting goals, and the former with cheering me on. Okay. What a large paragraph.
However, let me just tell you this right now: coming up with characters is HARD; You can spend days or even weeks either not coming up with anything or at the very least coming up with very little. I had already finalizing a lot of his looks, and I was superbly stuck before asking my friend for help on personality and special features ( The same friend who told me to make the PowerPoint which helped me out with that; thanks!). Darn characteristics; for some people it's easy, and for some, not so much. Ask for help if you're stuck on something, okay, kids?
Anyway, I need to stop writing as the time's almost up; yay.

This is a relatively different character design I had for him before I changed to vest and a regular monocle. Maybe I shouldn't have changed that monocle...?
