Great list! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
It was a good one! Thanks. Hope you did, too!
These are such interesting links, Elizabeth! I always learn when I visit here. That list of character flaws caught my attention this time. It's funny how we all agree characters should not be perfect, because humans aren't. But writing those flaws in is a different matter. I think it all falls out from understanding who they are as people. Thanks for the reminder!
Flaws really can help develop characters! Hope you have a great week!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing these helpful links. I was pleased to see Story Empire mentioned with writers John Howell and C. S. Boyack. There's both great writers. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Great posts from John and C.S.!
What a wonderful reference list! Thank you so much for compiling it!
Thanks to you for coming by!
Thank you for this helpful selection of posts. It's lovely to see John Howell and C.S. Boyack featured here.
My pleasure! Hope you have a great week!
Thank you for another great list, Elizabeth:) xo
My pleasure, D.L.!
