most of my time has been spent trying to organise this massive amount of disparate notes. I found some of my central casting pages for character rolls. I don't use them verbatim for a character, but you can get the spirit of one and work from there. and it's nice to have something to turn back to and have a childhood event you can build upon.
like, I wasn't asking myself why this character became a pilot because once something makes sense to me, I don't question it or think too deeply about it. thing is, I had actually answered this question by weaving disparate central casting childhood events together in a logical way. and now I have it right in front of me.
