I think your standards are way too high - that leads to writer's block. It is a fear I have in most things - that it won't be as good in reality as it is in my head. It is something I am working at. Your character depictions are amazing. You are too critical - why do you want them to be perfect. Let the motions you use to make them - create what they look like and what their personalities are.Erm....is there a relationship between not being able to express ones' self coherently [or to one's own satisfaction] when speaking and being able to write? I have an imaginary character or two in mind who I have sometimes tried to depict using software like DAZ 3D, iClone, and Metahuman Creator, but I know barely anything about their history and personality. [I have found some music that I feel "fits" them.]

Write what you see in your mind. My writing comes from within the windows of my mindNah - perfection is unattainable
Do you mean "emotions"?
I shared some of my stuff with my family on Wednesday night. They wanted to know more about them. I told them that I knew almost nothing about them. They said that I should write about them. While they have existed in my imagination for yonks, they are represented as pictures rather than bodies of text. Putting down words is hard if I don't already have them in my head. I was wondering whether there is a link between the ability to communicate verbally and that of being able to produce a work of creative writing.

No I have not. It is on that impressively large list of things I would love to do and never seem to get around toHave you played with Daz Studio?
I like that ideaNicholas: Have you found that most of the imaginary characters you create tend towards power fantasies?
It makes for a dull story, but I have been playing around with something that begins like the end of the initial run of Ms Marvel, which sees her depowered by the Mutant, Rogue.
Even if it did not have a feel-good ending?I like that idea
