Curses. I...I was up late last night reading too. Curses. I'm in the midst of beefing up the conflict too. I have a bit of a devil may care attitude at this point. Those characters aren't going to know what hit them.KM Nallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714392426676743868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321966548608514767.post-37672612487398699612011-06-24T14:32:08.483-04:002011-06-24T14:32:08.483-04:00Gah! That is a VERY good question to ask yourself ...Gah! That is a VERY good question to ask yourself as a writer, about your book. Not sure mine could hold up to that test. It's a cool goal to have, though--enough conflict and tension and interesting things happening to make someone lose sleep over. Aren't we mean as writers?Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321966548608514767.post-66192439619379823092011-06-24T14:03:34.470-04:002011-06-24T14:03:34.470-04:00Ah, I know that desire all too well. :)
Of course...Ah, I know that desire all too well. :)<br /><br />Of course, the way I see it is that I want to get people to care about the characters and their problem. I've read books that ooze conflict, but I care about the characters so little I can take a break from them. I feel like conflict can be put in pretty easily, but shaping those characters around the conflict, without being too whiny or too Jenna Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329926652906059439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321966548608514767.post-12735129653472221992011-06-24T13:41:36.115-04:002011-06-24T13:41:36.115-04:00Me too Miranda, my poor characters. :)

We'll see if that's a mistake though. <Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870655070026853342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321966548608514767.post-6533879070269152422011-06-24T12:37:16.238-04:002011-06-24T12:37:16.238-04:00Yes!!

I put my character through so much, I feel badly about it. LolMiranda Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880449368013410349noreply@blogger.com
