Even if it is a good thing, it is stressful and when all of it seemed "done", there is always a letdown. It is sort of like coming back from vacation and having to go back to the normal life. I am glad you got out of the doldrums and you learned more about character development etc...

This<br />article was short. Basically, she was referring to the different <br />relationships a person has or, as I see it, the different masks a character may wear or the personality they project. As for writing, of course I'll continue :) Sharon Himslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835934582653243661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-30215253593044043632014-12-05T10:23:23.217-08:002014-12-05T10:23:23.217-08:00Thanks, Dixie.

I don't quite understand the four personas thing, but it sounds a lot like the way Dramatica says you need four story lines, in order to have a full, rich story. I read almost every craft book there is; it's informative and fun. I read a jaw-dropping lay insightful one this week on hooks. I'd had no idea that there's a science to writing strong hooks. learned so much.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900383840255608898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-91372199829205522012014-12-05T01:09:51.611-08:002014-12-05T01:09:51.611-08:00I hope you "see" perfectly, the sights o...I hope you "see" perfectly, the sights of Christmas while on the mini vacation!<br />I'm not doing bloghop - may rejoin later - posted a short story instead... a true story about myself.
