I don't write much fiction, but I'm currently in my college's "Advanced Creative Writing" this semester.

The whole class is to compose a "major work" - be it a collection of poems or a memoir - and draft it throughout the whole semester. The end goal is to get it published in an undergrad journal nobody will ever read except your mom because now their kid is "published."

Right now, I'm still doing pre-writing and research, so I am doing character write-ups. I was wondering what you guys do to develop characters without directly projecting people from your lives or forcing anything too hard.

Pic unrelated.

If it's poems, it doesn't matter

I should have clarified, but I didn't want it to sound like I was asking people to write them for me:

I am writing a play. It's about a 4-member band (all male) in Portland, Maine. Scenes will jump around to all the different members of the band at various points in the day before they all converge on a show. They're all going to be in various stages of disarray.

Uh....you just develop the character without directly projecting people from your lives.

I'm just wondering if anyone has a process they go through that might help.

I'm currently going through character traits and details of each character before I start writing. I don't know if that's too limiting.. Should I just write and see where the characters go?

Seriously, anything more than JUSTDOIT.mp4 would be really appreciated.
