Heya guys! Sorry again for being inactive lately I just had a complete writers block and couldn't think of any post ideas. Today's post is actually a guest post by IndigoSky (link at the bottom) about how to develop story characters.  This is really useful if writing stories is your thing, as it's easy to make them typical, boring personalities with nothing to make them stand out. So here we go! Hey guys, it’s  IndigoSky  here. Thanks to Apple Tree for letting me do a guest post on her blog! Anyway, let’s get on with this post.
