Stuffing Break

Turkey's not my thing, but boy can I eat me some stuffing.

Woohoo!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'll be back on Friday or Saturday. I hope you all have a great holiday.

The Canadians (you know who you are), I hope you have a nice weekend.

Later!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Jessica. May it be a memorable one in the best of ways!

(wink, wink) Thanks for the Canadian wish. My girls are showing in a horse show, so I'm sure I will, if no one gets thrown that is.

I LOVE turkey. Yum. And stuffing ... and cranberry sauce ... and the list goes on and on and on.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Jessie!

No One's Perfect

We all have flaws, but our characters especially should have some, because what fun is there in reading about someone's perfect life? *grin* Since our MC's have a defining virtue, should they also have a defining weakness? What if their weakness is what causes some of the main conflict in the story? What if the weakness is in direct opposition to the MC's virtue? The characters must have something to struggle against, a temptation or a sin, as well as an outer conflict. What's your MC's biggest weakness? How does it define him or her?

Wondering what she'll talk about is turning the wheels in my head and give me some blog fodder.

Just Straight-up Say It

When it comes to writing an interesting character, I think the best ones are those who go verbal places we're afraid to. Sometimes they use subtext, sometimes speak the truth, straight-up. Or maybe your characters break some rules you would never dare to even imagine breaking? Maybe they expose themselves, make themselves vulnerable to other characters? Or do they demand things we've learned to only wish for? What's the wildest thing one of your characters has done? Would you do it?

To Pick a Scabbing Wound

After my involvement in that accident, my grandma suggested I write out what happened as a healing exercise. I used to write in a diary all the time, but since getting married, that has fallen to the side.

To write about something that hurts to think about seems to me rather like picking at a scabbing wound. But I think for some writing out their hurts aides in the healing process. How do you release emotion? Do you think writing about a painful event is healthy or counterproductive? And do you journal? If so, what about?
