Take that meeting one step at a time, or as the old saying goes, peal that
onion one layer at a time. With each layer you'll get to know more about that
stranger, and your character will become a fully developed person to you and your

probably on a few you can’t and wouldn’t want to imagine. No matter what kind of
writing you do, you can bet there are a number of lists just for that genre, or even
sub genre. These on-line communities help you stay in close contact with other
writers, and sometimes readers. That can mean even more to writers like myself, who
live in small towns were they are no local writing groups. Many lists allow members to
pass on market news, take part in weekly writing or discussion prompts, ask
questions, do brain storming on stories, or even share the sadness of a rejection or
the thrill of seeing your work in print.

Ashley wasn't the man for her, and that Rhett was her true love? And even in Toy
Story, if Buzz hadn't shown up, and threatened to take Woody's place.... Well, you
get the idea. Ah, the interest conflict brings to a story!]]> no@spam.com (Charlotte Dillon) https://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/138/1/Conflict/Page1.html https://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/137/1/Helpful-Hints-On-Characterization/Page1.html
No one is perfect, and that goes for the characters in our stories. The hero can have a
heart of gold, eyes as blue as the sky, hair as black as sin, and a smile that can make the
sun look like it is low on voltage. But come on now, shouldn't he have some weakness,
some part of him that is less than perfect?]]> no@spam.com (Charlotte Dillon) https://www.autocrit.com/websitepublisher/articles/137/1/Helpful-Hints-On-Characterization/Page1.html
