Now that I've "finished" (ha, ha) the first draft of my novel, I think I'll have to go back and do some "character bibles," get to know my characters a little better, make sure they're consistent. You put it so well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17638584737109705999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973117169323556846.post-92064221535656681182008-11-15T14:42:00.000-08:002008-11-15T14:42:00.000-08:00Thanks, Dana!

I love this post! I have done both things, ...HAh! I love this post! <BR/>I have done both things, but it depends on how the author in question is talking about their character. Some are so self-conscious about it, so pretentious I just wanna slap them. The heck with backing out of the room, I want to CLEAR the room. But...others sound perfectly normal and I totally understand how ones characters can take on a life of their own.Dana Fredstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802936840624512415noreply@blogger.com
