Great list of helpful suggestions, Elizabeth. Thank you for posting this. 😊
Thanks for coming by, Gwen!
Juneta's post at the IWSG on character flaws was outstanding. One of the best we've shared.
Thanks for the heads-up! Still playing catch-up over here, ha.
These are such great links, Elizabeth, as always. This time, I especially noticed the one about ring tones. It's not just ringtones, but a set of details like that that can make characters well-rounded. And you don't need a lot of narrative to tell people something about the character's taste in music. That's really interesting and I hadn't thought about it. Thanks.
Character really is in the small details sometimes, isn’t it?
Thank you so much for sharing my Story Empire post this week, Elizabeth! I'm honored!
Great post, Jan!
Another excellent selection. Thank you, Elizabeth.
Thanks, Staci!
Great posts, Elizabeth :)
Thanks!!
A very helpful list, Elizabeth.
Thanks, Beem!
