Characterization

[(Anonymous)]

I'm pretty insecure about keeping people in-character when writing (or imagining) fanfics. I just don't feel like I have a good grasp of "what would they do/say?" types of things. But when I have occasional dreams about fictional characters, they tend to be ridiculously in-character. Which is weird, because my dreams are usually completely illogical (and real-life people in them are often wildly uncharacteristic of themselves).

I just wanted to share that, I guess. *shrugs*

sounds like you subconsciously have a good grasp on characterization, but that consciously you fret and second-guess and doubt yourself too much to realize it

maybe try writing without publishing, and after a few months of that, to give it time to see your writing with fresh eyes, see if you're satisfied with your characterization

like, take off the pressure of the public seeing it

alternatively, find a good, nice writer in your fandom to take a look at some of your writing, if you'd like

Re: Characterization

This is good advice. I can't emphasize enough how much you should just relax and write with the intention of never showing the product to anyone and see what comes out. You might be surprised.

That's normal though? It's always harder to make things work in writing than in your imagination. I have the same problem.
