The other comment that caught my eye was how you said you threw so much at Connor. Tris sounds like he's had a lot thrown at him as well. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think these are both places where I need to look deeper. I like giving options based on my background. I need to get away from the mindset of "emergent behaviors" it doesn't work in fiction. The other thing I need to do is get tougher on my characters. I need to get past the idea that I like them and want to see them succeed. I need to see them succeed despite something and I need to provide the existence of that something. <BR/><BR/>And I have to be more specific about what those somethings are.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for making me think yet again, Jodi!Kaigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270810534361827959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869527318255268135.post-38758766155968844242008-03-29T01:25:00.000-07:002008-03-29T01:25:00.000-07:00lol--Lula.
