Aspiring writer here, tell me where I’m going wrong:
>First I start with crystallizing what I want to convey in my story (moral, humor, cyncism, propaganda etc)
>Then I think of vehicles (plot and characters) to convey the message
>Then I give life to the characters and put myself in all of their shoes and argue their perspective as personally as possible
>Then once the characters are fleshed out fully and independently, I can see where all their internal contradictions are and where there are gaps
>Then, I switch to the world, and define the world to bridge character gaps or challenges
>Now the world is complete, I go back and edit the characters and their arcs and the plot to fit in with the world
