Is that in the context of lucid dreaming? It's been quite a while since I dabbled in lucid dreams myself, but early on there was some overlap for me in doing tulpamancy and lucid dreaming, that was interesting. What is ADA?
Yes anything I say is couched heavily in the mindset being the most important thing. Suggestion works on acceptance and the more you accept the more rapidly it will occur.

That... is a complicated question...

Let's see... back in... I think it was 2014 through -15 I make a token effort but didn't follow through. Then I came back 2019, did it for a year, then actively decided to step away because I didn't have the mindset and it wasn't working. Then I came back in 2020, immediately had success because I had a breakthrough elsewhere that allowed me to get into that headspace. However that tulpa ended up... shall we say a bit... worse for wear. I now have another, who is technically only I think just under a year old, who was initially developed as a fictional thoughtform and who I accidentally made happen concurrently in the way that authors usually do.
It's difficult to render down what occurred slowly over a period of like 2 years but essentially they became very negative after they came back. They were anxious, they felt betrayed, and it seemed they attached this to their personality for a long while. They were actively having a bad time existing while I was fine, which was... a strange experience for me. We actually repaired this issue by doing a whole hypnosis thing, but afterwards... I don't really know how to describe other than it felt like there wasn't really a reason for them to be around in the same way. And they were detracting from another thoughtform's time and mine in a way that wasn't satisfying. We found it difficult to simply want them around.
Yes. Still got some raw feelings on that. I can call them back at any time, they're ultimately a thoughtform still at the beck and call of the brain. But they do not wish to be a permenant fixture of our thought without good reason.
It occurs to me that I didn't actually answer the initial question on tips. If I have another beyond the acceptance-mindset it is this: Seek joy, not discipline. If you are having fun it will reinforce your behaviour. Understand that whatever relationship you want with your tulpa, you can start it now. Not later when they are "more developed". Tulpamancy is a journey, so treating it like a destination can be a trap that leads no where.
I don't treat tulpamancy like there's any development at all these days. The skills I'm dealing with increasing in tulpamancy are always tertiary to the core of it. If you manage to suspend belief, and you engage with a tulpa right now in the way you want to, they will in theory simply respond and you'll have that. Visualization, switching, imposition, hypnosis, all of that is tertiary to having a tulpa, none of it is necessary though it can enhance the experience.

Forget development entirely unless it brings you excitement to increase the vividness of the experience, I suppose.
They do, but they do so fluidly with any input. There's a lot you can show and do with a tulpa, and I suppose chiefly I would suggest making sure you are doing new and interesting things in general - and not just because you need a tulpa to behave a bit more complexly. Do it for the experience, not as a chore.
Good good. The advice is mostly about getting you to stick to it, but I do think the less anxiety you have about the process the more likely it is to be rapid.
