User blog comment:Scarly/Writing Tip 1: To Drabble or Not To Drabble, That Is The Question./@comment-4722499-20120702191438/@comment-4722499-20120702204653

Yes, is easier. I've read some good (and some terrible) fanfics, it does look that it took time to write it, because it is so organized. Drabbles and those kind of stuffs are like the beginning. Characters that are already developed are way easier to write, because you already know what they would do in a certain conflict. While making up one, you need to know their personality and making it realistic. But one that already exist, is easier for the writer to understand. I've created some characters for a story that is in the corner of my head itching to be a book once I get older, but you need like a whole paper to just know who they...create their backstory, personality, characteristic.

Now, with one that is already developed, the reader and writer already knows it's backstory, personality, and how they look like. Plus, I never even heard of drabbles before, you know, but they seem really helpful from research I have done. Also, word count is important...if someone puts to many words it gets confusing or it just doesn't work. You run out of words..and that is a big mistake; because you can't repeat words alot. Lol, I know this is just babies stuffs, because writting is hard. Since people just think writting is sitting down and just writting with a pencil. It takes great practice and experience.
