I made my first character journal entry!
I'll share because it's goofy.
Characters X and Y sing "Jump in the Line" with Jimmy Fallon with kids instruments
Ha ha! See, it's not all bad things I think about. But to explain what I've mentioned in this thread further, certain songs trigger certain scenes and/or images. "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte triggers a happy and pleasant image of my characters having fun and being goofy. I have a lot of happy songs, and I use them when I feel down to make me feel better or simply because I am in a good mood.
It's important for me to share that I take advice here to heart and I think the character journal is an excellent suggestion. I bought a journal specifically for my characters but wasn't sure what to do with it. Thanks!
Now that I have found an outlet with the journal, do you guys have specifics to make the best use with this character journal?
