Is my tulpa developing?

[Raetin]

So I don't think I'm tulpaforcing but right now I'm writing the traits and hobbies and all that for the personality. I'm not talking to it or visualizing traits going into it. Does it start developing if I just write these things?

The idea starts to germinate, but it really doesn't grow unless you force the traits into it (if you use FAQ man's guide). So no.

If you're feeling anything at this stage it's likely just parroting. Of course the creation process varies largely from person to person, so there's a chance it could just barely be developing, but it's unlikely.

I asked FAQ Man back in the /mlp/ days, and he said that time spent creating your trait list *does* count. This makes sense to me because I was constantly thinking about her and how each trait would work.

The traits list is good but the point of tulpaforcing is becoming relaxed and thinking of nothing other than your tulpa. And things to talk about. Traits list is more or less just for documentation, you should have a good idea of the tulpa's personality already.
