My characters don't have to be perfect now-- after all, I'm WORKING on it, which is fine!<br /><br />Thanks for the post!Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993791743292228851.post-38143919963512318242010-09-10T09:37:53.250-07:002010-09-10T09:37:53.250-07:00This is good advice.

I always warn people of that when they ask me to base a character off of them, because all I can do is take one character attribute and exaggerate it. Real life people are way too complex, they wouldn't make sense in a novel.<br /><br />Definitely I agree! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222233412304660376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993791743292228851.post-11655536605831750472010-08-30T04:03:10.141-07:002010-08-30T04:03:10.141-07:00yes i think some people do get hung out on creatin...yes i think some people do get hung out on creating perfect characters. people aren't perfect. even when you think you know someone really well, they can come out with some crazy behaviour that just doesn't make sense. sometimes writing about a character can be the same- they surprise you, and that's half the fun! the more your story evolves the characters should naturally progress with it, they will evolve and become more well rounded purely as a result of the story. i like being surprised by my characters- in some ways i dont create them, i just give them a voice and if i tried too hard they would disappear :)<br /><br />great post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
