So informative. I cant wait to make a list of my characters and make a list of what makes them unique. I usually curl up in bed at night with a book, but tonight I think it will be a legal pad and a pen.<br /><br />I look forward to going back and reading your earlier posts.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Yummers!https://www.blogger.com/profile/03214283232145121905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597446736200108024.post-45349412829701452282012-08-03T07:30:25.357-07:002012-08-03T07:30:25.357-07:00I'm excited to hear what you have to say about...I'm excited to hear what you have to say about characters, specifically villains. I've gotten a lot of comments that people "fall in love" with my MC and supporting cast, but my villains tend to feel rather cookie-cutter. <br /><br />Also, (off topic) can you recommend any posts or articles on plot or structure? This is my weakest area, and I'd love to hear what you think makes a story good on that front. (If it's easier, you can let me know via Twitter, @darci_cole.)<br /><br />Thanks for this blog, Vickie! I've found so much helpful information here. You're awesome!Darci Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155604971570768765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1597446736200108024.post-54549960072718279552012-08-03T06:00:25.911-07:002012-08-03T06:00:25.911-07:00Thanks, I'm in the process of revising my m/s ...Thanks, I'm in the process of revising my m/s to make my characters stronger, and this has already helped.
