This being a bit of a continuation of the previous chapter in a sense, being an author to me means notes. You want to make sure you didn't fuck something up. Make sure this person continues to have these personality traits and this appearance... God that moment you misname a character and their actions are those of another and it's like they have mood swings all because you screwed up their name. Bah. Been there, fucked that up.

Anyway, personally I kind of feel that for ME to be a good author, I need to take notes. And if I were to do a litrpg... My God I'd need folders of folders of shit. Keeping track of characters is very important for an author, and if you get several chapters in, and somehow have like ten or more active characters it becomes more dialogue than action, and that can help if nothing is going on, but you also need to make sure to not get people confused, but also need to remember to interrupt with action as and when necessary.

With how it relates to the last chapter, I feel like setting up the world is important. To have a decent framework means you can reference your own material and set up how it's supposed to go. Granted sometimes when you make a character, and you want them to make a certain choice... It doesn't happen. You wrote the character and their personality clashes so hard with the option in front that before you know it you're wrote them being true to themselves, even if it's not the optimum solution you may think it could have been. It's strange when it happens, and not everyone who has wrote something will know what I'm talking about. But there may come a point when you start to hmmmmm and hawwww because that's not what they would do and you know it.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

To me, understanding the world and how it works is rather important to making a coherent world that has a decent grasp of physics and can turn them on it's head to make rather interesting and amazing new concepts for fantasy. But it all needs to be comprehensible and be able to mesh well. I suppose this chapter will be a bit short in comparison to all the others. I'll admit I'm rather distracted by my attempt at background noise, but next chapter shall be about note taking and what I believe is the best option for a litrpg
