So my problem with inventing stories is that:
a) I have no problem coming up with a world.
b) I also have no problem coming up with characters. More often than not, however, I end up with too many characters.
(Loads And Loads Of Characters is the trope to describe my creative life).
HOWEVER,
c) I then cannot make the world "work" (should it need to), nor can I think of a feasible thing to do with this world (case in point here would be Leila and Parviz's world. I know what I want their world to be like, and I know roughly who they are, but as for anything occurring in that world? NADA. The opposite to this (sort of) is Kit and Rory. I know who they are, but not what they do or where they live).
I wouldn't mention this at all, but that I sat down to doodle before I went to sleep. Except that I didn't draw, I ended up creating a character for Leila and Parviz's world (who has a name and a nationality so far, but nothing beyond that). I also thought of another world setting, but I don't know anything about it beyond forests and trolls.
I know I shouldn't really stress about it, but it bugs me quite often, actually. Maybe it's like painting, though, and I'm just good at backgrounds but not the details?
(Thinking about it, though, I wouldn't let anyone use these worlds this unformed, though. I'd be afraid they'd get things wrong, and that they might change the characters in ways I didn't think they should).
(Also I know you're wondering who the hell are Leila and Parviz. Well the latter I posted a picture of on![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
muladhara, and the former exists in the same world and looks somewhat like Daenerys Targeryn (but not on purpose)).

I am already up to the last disc of the first series of AtLA \o/ Although actually, that kind of surprises me. I didn't realise I was going through the eps that fast (but I skipped ep 10 ("Jet"), because I can't stand the character it's about, and I've seen it twice. I'm not shaky on its plot).
Series 2, here I come! (I guess)
