Method
writing…
Like method acting, method writing can be a unique way to get yourself deeply enthralled in your story. I don't know if method writing is even a word/phrase, but it is the best way for me to give a short description of what I'm trying to say.
Before every story, I meet up with my characters and have a "kind of" get together, of sorts, to see how they interact. Based on that, I decide who will be included in the story and who will be put on the back burner until another story comes my way. Each character is different and has a use, but sometimes their use is limited to one specific story line and not another.
I meet my characters in real life, dreams, movies, other dimensions, television, malls, restaurants, get-togethers, conventions, and many other ways.
Sometimes I even get my friends together and role play, as a particular character, to see what comes about. It can be a lot of fun and add a unique depth to a character's personality. They even do things that you would never expect them to do, which is an added element of fun.
With that in mind, if you ever come across me and I happen to be acting a bit strange, or not quite like myself, I'm most likely in character. Be forewarned, I rarely break character, while method writing. But I can assure you that I will NEVER harm anyone or myself, even while in some of my darker personalities. So you are safe with me. My soul is too pure and full of love for that. As crazy as I may be, I am not some schizoid with a major multiple personality disorder --- Notice I said major ;)
