I think it’s inevitable that at some point, our characters have a leetle bit of ourselves and/or our friends/enemies/families in them.

And, yeah, it is GREAT to have a group of ‘critical friends’ around to bounce ideas around with…..

I am learning so much from you all! It feels like this is still “class” for me as I look at how you are working with your characters and stories. I’m about to delve into my character Nate and give him a personality and story, so this is all very helpful. He may have a bit of me in him too!

Hey Linda — PLEASE JUMP RIGHT IN!!!! I’m glad you’re here!! It’s a lot more interesting with you joining in the fray!

The context for me thinking about that quote involved my spending the day in the emergency room — where a lot of what was going on truly was irrevocable. And I’m trying to figure out how to make my character Becca much less bland than she is, so the suggestion of giving her some kind of ‘do or die’ decision/choice seems like a good one.

Other than that, the threat that a lover could leave again, the impermanence of everything — that seems to be more compelling and realistic in a lot of situations.

As far as your icon/avatar goes, I don’t know why it doesn’t show up (and it’s such a nice one, too!) I automatically get the personalized avatars for other folks like Darksculptures and Dayner, who are also on wordpress.com as you are.

I’ll ask A. if he has any idea — it might be something at your end? I’m NOT using wordpress.com. We’ll figure it out.

Thanks for your comments….
