Hello, everyone! 
Every time I come to the group page, I keep noticing that this blog hasn't been updated for months, and thinking that we should do something about it. But I always forget to bring it up with the other admins, and it's July now, and we haven't had a new journal since New Year, and so I'm taking drastic measures!
...I'm writing a blog entry myself. Super-drastic, I know. (Other admins, if any of you have a problem with this, or want to add anything, feel free to edit and/or yell at me!) But this is the first blog entry I've ever made here, so I guess that makes it dramatic? Maybe?
Whatever. Come on, Moose, get on with it, you're rambling.
Sadly, I don't really have anything specific to say other than HELLO EVERYONE and HURRAH I AM UPDATING THE BLOG. So...
Tips & Tricks
Do you all remember our Tips & Tricks sections from last year? I thought they were really interesting and helpful, so let's bring them back!
For those of you who've forgotten in the mists of time, or who're new to the group and so have missed out, this is the part where we pose a general question that is relevant to almost every writer in some way. You give us your answers, and after about a month we make a new journal sharing all your responses with the rest of the group, and then posing a new question. And thus, the cycle of amazingness continues! 
The last question - which didn't get any replies, but was a really good topic - was this:
How do you write about characters very unlike you?
How do you make sure that they seem realistic and not forced? How do you keep them from becoming too much like you? Or is your writing lacking in characters that you can't identify with?
Sorry for this ridiculous journal, guys, but it really did need updating, and I wanted to bring T&T back
I'm sorry I'm a moron when I'm hyper...

Hello all. As one of the original founders, it saddens me to say that this group is officially dead. The founders have moved on and there is nobody left to manage this place.
I am willing to pass the torch to anyone willing to step up to the plate. If, in two weeks, I hear nothing back then I will close the group.
Thank you all for your passion,
Moss

Hello all. As a co-founder of this group I am very sad to say that the we, the, original founders of this group, have long since moved on. The group is dead and it's making me very sad.
I would be more than happy to pass the torch if someone wants to step up. If, within the next two weeks, nobody steps up then.... I'm afraid I'll have to close the group.
Thank you for all your passion and dedication,
Moss

All o f the comments below make sense to me, and I think I sort of meld all of these ideas together. For every character that has more than one scene in any of my writings I create a character sheet. I use a modified version of Holly Lisle's, but there are many out there. In this sheet I don't fill out all of the fields for every character, but I do fill out the ones that I am inspired to even if they are not relevant to the scenes. This helps understand the character's motivations and "get inside their head." Most of my characters are based on people I know, usually a hybrid of several people, and I usually make a note of this as well. This also helps in filling out the character sheet, "What would so and so do in this situation", etc.
