Character Dev. 32F - Chronically Ill Writer: Let's Swap Characters + Daydreams
I'm Cru. I’m introverted and in need of writer-friends, not by choice. I'm chronically ill.
Where I get lost, though, and either forget or become fully immersed in my introverted-chronically-ill life is writing.
I’d like to exchange characters or worlds, or cowrite, or whatever!
A lot of my characters have chronic illness and disability, and my written world and its supporting characters get it right. My latest character creation is a pain specialist by day, interrogation specialist by night. My other new dude is an ex-convict who ends up babysitting an ADA’s adult daughter after her apartment is broken into. I've also got a Danish surgeon in the British military with a half-Korean daughter. I'd love to explore these developed characters, or just yap about them to anyone who is willing to listen.
Other than that, *Hannibal* (2013) is my favorite show for its clever writing and amazing acting. My bestie from college says that Hugh Dancy is my hobby, and she's probably not wrong. I am pretty funny sometimes. Sometimes, it's just sad self-deprecation that comes off as funny. Oops.
Who are you daydreaming about today? Have they met your document yet? I’d love to hear about them! I prefer to use Discord, and will always be up for a chat (provided you’re not rude and nobody makes it weird. Duh.)
Also, if ya feel like we may vibe, I’m open to discussing roleplay plots! I do not do sci-fi, apocalyptic, or fantasy, but love grittier themes locked into reality. Shoot me a message! I’ll always listen to an idea!
