I struggle wi...Wow. You hit the nail on the head.<br /><br />I struggle with this in my writing. <br /><br />I'm cruel to my characters, especially my MCs. There. I said it. <br /><br />Dani is currently in anguish over her involvement in the fate of her brother. Jayson is a wreck in my planning for Shattering the Dark. <br /><br />I cringe over my fight scenes, even when I don't write them out, only allude to them. It hits me, hard emotionally writing them. I love them and I hate them. They are my skeleton in the closet.<br /><br />Wonderful post, Katie. It helps a lot.Elizabeth Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908725693927054937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143059012091946968.post-62248448057713571902011-11-18T16:10:50.764-06:002011-11-18T16:10:50.764-06:00Oh dear, that would be nasty, wouldn't it?

Then went on repeat when it hit the end of the song. Now I have Nightmares stuck in my head. If I sing, "a danger to myseeeeelf," randomly in front of my mom, it's your fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143059012091946968.post-207707456448622162011-11-18T13:32:24.401-06:002011-11-18T13:32:24.401-06:00Ha!

I was supposed to be posting Nano updates but when you're writing on Nano the last thing you want to do is write about Nano... and to tell the truth, I'm procrastinating. As long as I'm writing blog posts I don't have to worry about what comes next in this story.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723758662198138772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143059012091946968.post-81768452737766650652011-11-18T13:27:13.844-06:002011-11-18T13:27:13.844-06:00A very good blog post, especially considering that...A very good blog post, especially considering that we still are in NaNo month... all my blog updates right now are NaNo updates.

I hadn't thought of it this way, but I think you are very, very right.<br /><br />The fear isn't necessarily a bad thing... losing sight of it is.Road to Grinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11882179150281852324noreply@blogger.com
