I get very attached to my characters, and sometimes don't want to "go there," because their dilemmas sometimes mirror things I've experienced myself. <br /><br />But we have to serve the story and our readers, so I try my best to remember to breathe before jumping off the cliff of the story! LOL<br /><br />Thank you for your comments :)<br /><br />MicheleMichele Langhttp://www.michelelang.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-31110511417938033582010-11-07T07:08:23.707-05:002010-11-07T07:08:23.707-05:00Thanks for taking the time to put this post togeth...Thanks for taking the time to put this post together, Michele.<br /><br />I'm going off to read those links right now.Rowena Cory Daniellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995983965583233914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-62007843058867936252010-11-07T02:55:20.987-05:002010-11-07T02:55:20.987-05:00Thank you for the links to the wonderful informati...Thank you for the links to the wonderful information!<br /><br />I think sometimes when we, as writers, feel our emotions in a scene intensely, we have a tendency to 'dial it back' -- either out of concern that it will be *too* intense for the reader; or because it can get past that 'this is too personal to let others know about' line that is different for all of us.<br /><br />It's a highwire act without a net, sometimes, and breezy as heck -- but once you get the right balance, it'll be riveting!<br /><br />LinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940224740718934743.post-90673276676072911002010-11-06T15:40:52.841-04:002010-11-06T15:40:52.841-04:00Wow!
