I think about the plot, plan out the first episode, make a few characters, plan out what’ll probably happen in the last episode, and then start writing the first episode. I find that it’s stressful to write ideas down, so most of my ideas are just thought out in my head, never on paper. Later, I give each the most important characters a backstory.

I think about the problems in our world, and what sort of disabilities to add to a few of the characters. I give the MC and/or LI a weakness and a strength.
-
I never plan out how many characters; I just make them when I need them.
-
One MC, One LI, and waaaaaaay too many side characters. I only develop the most important side characters, ones who are essential to the plot.
-
I do struggle… with everything. But I kind of enjoy this kind of struggle. When it comes to dialogue, I’m a bit of a perfectionist… meaning I’ll try again and again and again until the words are absolutely perfect.

I don’t care much about setting. My story is in the modern era, to make it easier to direct, but as for a place I couldn’t care less. My preference is that it takes place in the United States, however… but that’s just a preference.

MC:
Strengths- Humble, Clever, Independent, Thoughtful, Caring
Weaknesses/Neutral- Stubborn, Quiet, Shy, Impatient -
Disabilities, Illnesses, Struggles (for example, my MC has had depression and anxiety ever since her mother passed away)
-
No, because many readers don’t get to experience the feeling that they’re actually in the story.
-
I’ve never written about a foreign character before, so I have no idea.
