After a few months of a hiatus, I came back to my WIP and read over my notes, character backgrounds, lore, and scenes. I was absolutely mortified . I almost cringed at how silly my ideas seemed. It's like during my break my style of writing and ideas completely changed. Now my question is if anyone else has experienced this?
Is rewriting my entire WIP, lore, timeline, and even scraping characters a good idea? Some characters just feel a bit out of place now and cant fit into the story like I thought they would. A problem I also ran into is organization and "perfection". I tend to try to perfect my timeline and make sure everything lines up precisely, characters are in the right place at the right time and make sure certain scenes are before and after another certain scene. It's all a little overwhelming.
Another question, what's a good way to put together a good character? How do I stay away from a cliche, bland character?
