Characters

I was looking for Abby Cadabby, just out of boredom.  I haven't anything in mind while doing this.  I stumble on this "article": http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Abby_Cadabby
I was a bit surprised but it is logical to have an muppet wiki.  I also took a look for Cookie, Telly, Elmo and Big Bird.  It was fun reading about the creation of those character.  I find that Cookie Monster have the most interesting creation yet.  I didn't knew his origin was with some unaired ads for tv.  I always thought that Big Bird was a big canary but he identify himself as being a lark.  There are info on his family too.

All this is a fine discovery.  I find it inspiring, for myself.  I do have some characters that have interesting back stories.  I just haven't put it on paper.  Looking at the muppet wiki, I found it was interesting all the infos it contain.  It is not perfect but it help to grasp better the character.  I do have much in my head and I think it would be a necessity to put it on paper could help me.  It would help me show and expand on the richness of my characters.  They will be better defined.  I have seen some way to record characters but I always found it restrictive on the physical side and not precise/inspiring on the mental and past side.  The wiki is inspiring for the more mental and past side of the characters.  It will help me a bit more for my own writing experience.

It is strange how an unexpected research can turn out.  It triggered something in me.  It is not the first time.  I would like to find how the unconscious work to link what I see with the ideas I have.  It seems to be a bit mysterious to me.  There are links that form between ideas and what is seen, a connection.  Beside that, I would like to know if there is more to that.  Launching the question may break some dams and I may stumble on something on the subject.
