My characters are very mundane in some instances and clairovant in other instances. <br /><br />Thanks for the reminder to be bold and believable.<br /><br />Blessings to you...Tamika:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04874834971492028558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216358162273548069.post-15998380037873035442009-10-08T12:07:43.120-07:002009-10-08T12:07:43.120-07:00Great post!

What does that say about me? ;)<br /><br />My biggest problem with the current MC is trying to keep her emotional pain (and she's got a lot from various past issues) near the surface without having it overwhelm the her immediate goal of the story. I struggle with this because, in one direction it becomes too angsty, but in the other direction it becomes way too overlooked. <br /><br />I do this juggling act with characters a lot when it comes to emotions. As to how I tend to characterize characters, it's mostly through their actions and their speech patterns. I don't spend a lot of time in any one particular room that is <i>their</i> space, so I don't have access to that avenue. With is both good and bad.Matthew Delmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452378192874048547noreply@blogger.com
