Article on writing that I found interesting

Jul 19, 2010 08:52

Hey all! I was supposed to post this up yesterday but my silly internet has been acting up all weekend (first it's on then Poof! Off...argh)
I sent this to flutttterby and she gave me permission to post up for you all. It was really helpful to me and I am thinking about printing out a copy and hanging it near my computer. :)

Thanks for this, it's quite interesting. I've been thinking a lot lately about writing and style and stuff, and this encourages good stuff. I especially like the last one. :D
P.S. I love that song

The last one was awesome, wasn't it? I have fallen into the trap of treating them like my kids and not wanting to make the hurt too big. It makes me want to revamp some of the things I've written with this in mind and see if it would make it even better to go bigger with the issues presented to my characters.

(That song makes me want to write and write and write. I tend to write with songs playing or to use lyrics/songs to write FROM.....and that one is a gem)

Oh, I really like this :) I love the last one as well - I love torturing my characters :P Thanks for this :D

Apparently we are all of likes minds around here with wanting to torture our characters. ;)
Maybe we should have a contest to see who can be the best torturer. ha-ha
