As for hurting my characters, I see in what ways they hurt themselves and go from there. Those are usually the most painful and interesting to watch.Michelle's Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769666862403600253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-59857593265757480632007-01-31T15:25:00.000-06:002007-01-31T15:25:00.000-06:00Yes, Charles - keep this up.

What I'd do is pour it all out in the writing, then edit, edit, edit.JR's Thumbprintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479324326541901987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-52064557366089528192007-01-31T13:32:00.000-06:002007-01-31T13:32:00.000-06:00Very good point.

Not long after I was married, I can remember writing a scene in a suspense novel with just a slightly softer touch than I might have earlier in my life.Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284680909152676159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-4953768269841992532007-01-31T12:21:00.000-06:002007-01-31T12:21:00.000-06:00Very interesting, Charles.

So much easier to hurt oneself.cs harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708705800818667923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-15180661150149665232007-01-31T11:57:00.000-06:002007-01-31T11:57:00.000-06:00Interesting take, Charles.

I think you're on to something in terms of characters who remind us of others vs. those who are most like us. <br /><br />There's one WIP I have in which the woman is remembering something her daughter went through, and every time I get to that part, I start sobbing. It's because the daughter is too much like my own, and it's why I've had trouble with that scene. The mom, I could handle; the daughter, no.<br /><br />Something to think about.RK Sterlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034917381901499281noreply@blogger.com
