Forums: An insomniatic rambling

I hate forums. I just want to put that out there. I’ve posted a couple here and there, primarily for research topics. It is here that I occasionally find a spark of content or material for something that I am writing. It’s hard to write a character if you don’t have a wide array of ideas and views. So I seek others out… research like crazy and then something might possibly come to me. I don’t want all of my characters to think or see or view things as I do. I want them to be unique individuals. Now I’m sure that some of them will display similar characteristics to myself at times because I am creating them… but I also like to write characters who are very different from myself, very set apart. So I create little forums to pick brains of unsuspecting individuals. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I find the latter to be more true than not. Sometimes people just say stupid remarks that are understated and unsupported. That my friends… is completely useless! Okay I’m done being ridiculous now…. I think that a combination of writers block and insomnia has caught up with me 😉
