1. Character Study

I've been struggling with my current WIP since my move, but my life has been too full of craziness to allow me the space and energy to let the book grow. Then yesterday I was working on a presentation on characterization for a class I'm teaching and I realized what was missing from my WIP. Not only that, but I figured out how to fix it. Just like that. And I was still reading about characterization and taking notes for my class. Guess I need to free up that subconscious mind a bit more often! Now to find the time to implement the changes!

In case you were wondering what I was reading that provoked my brain storm, it was some articles by Lee Masterson I'd found years ago on the web and saved for my reference. They must have inspired me when I decided to save them. I know they did this time around. I liked the one on the eight basic character types the best if you go looking for it.
