I'm completely off today.

Can't. There are absolutely no guarantees in ANYTHING.

Me. Most of the time. I only read the profiles if my character is supposed to know the other character or if I'm trying to see if I'm trying to see if the two fit together for a specific plot. If they're just meeting for the first time I prefer to go in as blind as my character is. It makes for more genuine reactions.

Started Paleo Pines today and yay so cute.

ow my elbow

This is a you problem. You prefer things a certain way. Other people prefer things a different way. Both ways are valid. For some people, the fact that the character thinks you're a terrible sister is more important than what they think or want as a writer.

The thing is, you say that, but the way I write I'm not actively making decisions. I'm just letting things flow and doing what feels right. It's a much more instinctive process and definitely not thought out. There's no sitting around justifying actions or trying to fit square pegs into round holes. The easiest way to describe it is "my character does things" because the decision making and thought process aren't something that I really experience most of the time, or at least not in a way where it feels like that's what's going on.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that this whole "my character does things" method isn't about actually thinking our characters are separate entities; rather, it's a way of saying that writing is a lot less thinking things out and a lot more feeling things out and letting them flow. I actually do a lot more active thinking about an OOC post than I do about an IC one.

I also don't think that people who do not write this way understand what's going on. I've never once met someone who is a plotter and planner who understands that there are people out there who write by letting go.

Mine do what they want, too.

totally ordered Paleo Pines yesterday

pretty sure we can't

I'm sure it could be done ... it sounds interesting. :eyes:
