A little type of Help? Please?
 
I have been writing this story for a while
But I think i hit a dead end or writes block.
I feels as if my other characters have no space
In the story and that I would like to give them
more of a story with in the story. I am not really
sure what to do.
My characters are Hizaki, Takaya, yuki, Kanon,
Kamijo, Jack and Fang.
The story is mostly about how a family of
vampires who try to make it past the trials of their
new life. And how the youngest teen Hizaki;
(Whoes dad is Takaya and sisters are Yuki and Kanon)
falls in love with Kamijo: (whose brothers are Jack and Fang)
Well Hizkais familys vampires and kamijos are Hunters.

And thats all i get. I would be really happy if someone
can give me an idea what to do with my other characters
and how to get something more in to the story.

Well, what you might consider doing is writing short scenes for each character. They don't have to have anything to do with the story as a whole. That way, you get to learn things about your characters, which can then transfer into side-plots in the story or, at very least, give your characters more, well, character.

Usually what I'll do is open up one of those 100 theme things and see if anything there strikes my fancy. If not, I'll turn on some lyricless music and play it on repeat until I write something.

Out of curiosity, why are Jack and Fang's names so different from everyone else's?

Thank you I will try that.
it might work and make
my teacher happy that
i get something done.

The reason Jack and Fang names
are different is cause...........
I ran out of names but the names are
due to change once i come up with a
name that goes with there style and looks.

But if ya got a name that ya might
think will go good with them please help out.

Well I'd have to know more about the characters to help with names. But what I do suggest is that you're sure to name them according to familial background. If they're all from Japan (as most of their names suggest) I'd be sure to give them all Japanese names. If Jack's family is from, for example, India you should give that whole family Indian names.

Names 'because they sounds cool' don't usually work out too well in stories.

Good luck with everything! And I hope you find your inspiration!
