5) character you were most surprised to end up writing
I would say probably Missy? I wasn’t terribly fond of her when she first showed up but the little psychopath grew on me and now I adore her. But even once I grew to love her, I was surprised to be writing her just because her characterization is so difficult to pin down for me. She’s just absolutely batshit and unpredictable and too too clever and honestly, I don’t know how I’ve had the balls to even attempt writing her but it’s been fun trying:)
19) when it comes to more complicated narratives, how do you keep track of outlines, characters, development, timeline, ect.?
I usually create a folder on my desktop where I keep all of my outline, my notes, any pictures I’ve used as inspiration, character profiles, and anything else relevant. I refer to that folder constantly while I’m writing and usually read over things several times as the story progresses just to keep in mind the more important details. An incredibly boring answer, for which I apologize, but I am hyper organized about my outlines. Haha
