In my Writing World I’ve been surging, focusing, oh all right…working on characters strength. In my Other World I’ve been working on my physical strength. Therefore, I’m a character.
I should write “Enough!” here, but I’m not finished, not quite.
In a previous post I credited Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglishi for three publications concerning character strength; The Emotion Thesaurus, The Positive Trait Thesaurus, and The Negative Trait Thesaurus. Being the drama queen of my Writing World I will focus on the negative this time. Besides, what’s a good mystery without negativity?
In my first novel, Swamp Run, my hero (yes, tall and tightly muscled) Joseph Sutton, had flaws, but I should have studied Ackerman and Puglishi first. My readers deserve to have more information. They deserve to know more about his grief over his wife’s murder, his desire for peace-of-mind, and his internal conflicts over ignoring injustices untamed!
Dramatic enough?
There I said it again.
Oh, BTW: Enjoy a Chance to Win my first historical mystery, Gray Lace, on Amazon’s Giveaways.
Enough!
