POV: You Realize You’re an Introvert, Not an Extrovert
Yeah… thirteen has been a wild age for sure. This was one of my many mini ‘revelations’.
Character Development Take Two!
After arguing a bit with my characters—okay, a lot—I decided that I needed to get to know them better. And what better way to do that than to fill out my old character sheets?!
