It will ...I absolutely love this exercise, Ashley. It will most certainly remind any writer at any stage of the writer's journey that all humans and all characters are complex, and that varying view points fascinate us. As for the self-examination aspect, that is right up my alley (some might call me self-aware, others self-absorbed).<br /><br />And Lisabet, your application of this exercise to the specifics of writing made me laugh out loud. You've nailed the rhetoric of reviewing and reminded me that critics represent a viewpoint and not "truth" necessarily.<br /><br />I'm going to have fun with the exercise as I write my new stories!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13615190390845433428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396437919069310850.post-90475788912475230452012-02-06T09:13:54.487-05:002012-02-06T09:13:54.487-05:00Wowser!
Thank you Lisabet for such a candid and e...Wowser!<br /><br />Thank you Lisabet for such a candid and exemplary response. <br /><br />When you read these two character summaries one after the other, it's difficult to reconcile them as being about the same person. <br /><br />I think that identifying these rich interpretations of characteristics can help us to create more realistic fictional characters.<br /><br />AshAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396437919069310850.post-71585539554999510172012-02-06T08:34:43.343-05:002012-02-06T08:34:43.343-05:00Ashley dear - how could anyone forget you?
I love...Ashley dear - how could anyone forget you?<br /><br />I love these exercises. Let's see what I can do.<br /><br />========================<br /><br />I really admire Lisabet's facility with words. She can write about pretty much any topic without a hint of hesitation, filling the page with her unique visions of the mysterious, the spiritual and the erotic. Her blog posts overflow with insight, voicing truths that I immediately recognize as such, though I could never have articulated them myself. Lisabet gives a voice to the desires of those of us who are voiceless.<br /><br />======================<br /><br />I've rarely encountered such a prolix and pedestrian author as Lisabet Sarai. She appears to believe that her words are God's gift to her readers. Certainly, she produces enough of them, rambling on and on when a more perspicacious and sensitive writer would have long ago brought the blog post to a close. Her verbosity is matched only by her smug self-satisfaction. Every sentence that flows from her pen reeks with false cheer and Pollyanna-ish platitudes.<br /><br />============<br /><br />Argh. Painful!<br /><br />Thanks for a great post!Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
