There have been scenes that have me so stumped, I just get a little crazy with them, knowing I'll have to cut later. But it makes me feel good to have characters do things that I know will never see the printed page.Debby Maynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593507686779363321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-44839270518347745882008-12-10T14:30:00.000-05:002008-12-10T14:30:00.000-05:00Angie,I'm the same way.

I believe there's always a reason to write through scenes like that, even if you know they might be snipped later. If nothing else, it takes you deeper into the psyche of your characters and what makes them tick. Which in the long run, will end up in richer characterization, because you will understand your characters on a deeper level.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a great scene, Jessie! Personally, I hope you get to keep it. Heh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
