Hearts Attached: The beginning, and some character clarification

Double post day! This one is on my series Hearts Attached, which you can read on Wattpad.

Okay, so I’ve noticed that some people had a little trouble with the characters. This should help:

Spider diagrams make everything easier. Even a complex web of interrelations between twelve characters.

My current (and first) story is called 'If You Can't Take the Heat...' and it features the lead character of the series, Adam Forrester. Clichéd trope of teenage romance: he's a jerk. But I guess you could say he's a jerk with a twist? Mainly because the character was created without the intent of making him the lead in a romance.

Okay, this is important shit so maybe I should've mentioned this first: I do not own Adam. Adam is not my character, I didn’t create him, but I have known him for four years.

So you see the challenge in writing about him? I just can’t make up qualities that don’t exist. It’s like writing a fanfiction. I pucking hate fanfiction. (I like to swear. But some people can’t handle it, so I’ll just be saying puck from now on. I’m extremely disappointed.)

But he’s just too cute that I can’t resist :)

Okay, so what’s to know about the real Adam? He’s 26, he has black hair and his eyes are blue. He prefers desserts, but he does enjoy cooking other types of food. He’s been in jail for stealing from a rich pretty boy that he hated, and he’s visited Russia and New Zealand– he didn’t enjoy either vacation.

Wait, more important: my sister created Adam. No, he’s not a real person, but he’s been worked on for over four years, so he could pretty much pass off as one.

(Ha ha, see what I did there? I made you think Adam might be a real person. Or maybe I just epically failed and you saw through that one. Damn.)

She actually created half the cast characters in the series. I made the other half. Little list (actually, a pretty big list…):

Me:

Shane Summers

Lance Summers

Frankie Smith

Janet Kingston

Trianna Malley

Hunter Winters

(I like season surnames! Leave me alone!)

Sister:

Adam Forrester

Jeff Forrester

James Alexander

Drake Tennyson

Kai Tennyson

Lena’s the only character specifically created for the stories. So, I was pretty worried about making her sound as natural and complex as the others’. That’s my main goal, apart from actually managing to make the humour as good as it is when Sis and I talk.

Did I mention? We role-play these characters. Weird? Yes. But loads of fun. Sis is a writer too (oh, what the puck, I’ll just call her El), so she’s always creating new scenes, new tensions, and loads of other stuff. El’s great at writing, but can’t do anything long– no, I’m not calling her lazy, don’t think that I think she’s lazy, she’s definitely not lazy.

Does roleplaying sound weird? Kinda is, but not really. It’s like creating your own sitcom or TV show, except you can control what you want to happen (except when your partner/s intentionally go against you ’cause they wanna do something else… it’s happened, but not too badly). Kinda like writing a book, but funner. Much.

So, I hope this cleared some things up… or created a few more questions. Next blog entry on Hearts Attached, I’ll talk about the character based most off me: Shane.

From the strange corners of my mind

Warning: weirdness ahead.
Due to some sensitive readers (I know you're out there), I've been forced to hold back my dirty mouth. So, every time I say puck, you know what I really mean. Y'all can handle shit, right?
Okay, so who else thinks Jake Abel and Landon Liboiron should act in a gay movie together? Hmm? Nobody? It just smacked me in the face when I cast both of them in my story, and they both play characters who are basically teased as being gay (Jake Abel is Shane, Landon Liboiron... oops, did I just give something away?). But still, wouldn't they be so cute together? Okay, I'll stop before my imagination gets the better of me.

 Look at those hot guys. Look at them.

My mouse went bust, right before I started this entry. The left click button doesn't work anymore. Now, my mouse has given me plenty of shit, enough to warrant the purchase of a new one. It's uncontrollably scrolled up and down, and the right click button has died more times than the Winchester Brothers combined. But I've still stayed true to it. And this is what you do, mouse? You betray me, by destroying the one feature of yours that still worked right?! Ironically, the scrolling wheel and the right-click button are now working perfectly. I'm using my tablet right now to navigate.
I'm thinking of cutting my hair. It's about down to my back now, but it's just been falling out so much that it's best if I cut it short. I didn't think it would pain me so much, since my hair's always tied up anyway, and I don't care much about my appearance the few times I do go out. But I don't wanna let go of my hair! It's the one part of me that's genuinely pretty!
And today my eye swelled up so badly I looked like I'd been punched. I could hardly see through it. Fortunately it reduced naturally during the day, and we're pretty sure it was brought on by some coconut I ate last night. Hmm, new info about me: I'm allergic to coconut. There goes my last Bounty bar.
And if you survived that boatload of weirdness and unnecessary information (especially the first part... I apologise), then I leave you with a line I said a few days ago: Neal Caffrey is as gorgeous as puck.

To get more attention to this blog, I will continue to post pictures of hot guys.

That's all for this post. Check out the newer one, where I explain some things about Hearts Attached, and hopefully clear up confusions on the characters.

First Post

Well, first post of my new blog! This blog will mostly be about writing, but also about music and other fun things.
I write on Wattpad under the name cheesepuff, and here I'll be posting some 'behind-the-scenes' stuff about my story on there. How the characters came about, how the story started, and maybe a few spoilers hidden here and there.
This is also where I'll be writing my 'How Not to Write a Book' guidelines. A hopefully funny set of mistakes many amateur writers make, and a few tips on how to get around them.
I'll also be sharing my thoughts and ideas on the fantasy novel I'm writing, mostly for myself than anyone else, really.
Still, thanks for sitting through this boring entry, and I hope you'll visit again soon.
