Laws of Writing Character

it's not supposed to look good, duh. 

A brief 'lecture' (fuck off) on writing character for a course I'm on. Character exists at the heart of our association with each other. We know who is supposed to be a character, for what they have done, the abstraction and reduction into ‘h, he’s a character, in’t he?’ It is through others, we become ourselves, says Lev Vygotsky: and the social psychologist argues too, we become ourselves through play. Character and play are commonalities, rich in bed with each other, as we adopt roles and archetypes to, firstly have fun, and then, to become. Writing character, making character, becoming character can be the same. The precedent for creative writing guidance on YouTube is readily available,. The lesson I want to impart here is that character comes from energy, a fixed location, and must be progressing onwards and towards another horizon. 

The traits and characteristics are already there for you watch and read about. This lecture is going to introduce the laws I apply to writing characters, and locating where your character’s energy is summoned from within the body. These rules are not rules. They are not comprehensive. They are an encouragement, or, if you need, an inditement for work you have not yet done. None of these are designed to be picked up and work immediately, rather, invite them into your ecosystem. Understand what they do for you.
