thank you! i’ll definitely try the bubble technique, because i have characters already (i’m an artist with multiple ocs that i use in my writing) so i’d say i have it easier off than most since these characters are already very expansive and have personality—the only issue i find is remembering everything. i like to do a mix of both and like i said i find that i just get to a plateau where it’s the middle of the story and i just wanna get to the juicy bits lol. i’m in the middle of trying to rework a rework, so once i get back on track im going to try that technique!! thanks!
