Your characters and their complexities and richness are brilliant! <br /><br />I have always admired your style and love your views!<br />Thanks for sharing more of what directs some of your character driven pieces. <br /><br />I know that when I read your work I am always emotionally and tangibly touched... so it works on deeper levels than just your characters - but on your readers as well!! <br />x<br />MelissaNohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431705820735752859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-72337403620057099592010-07-17T14:42:06.290-04:002010-07-17T14:42:06.290-04:00Hi RG!
Welcome back to the blog! I've always...Hi RG!<br /><br />Welcome back to the blog! I've always liked your approach to characters, so i knew you;d be good for this. I love the way you give thought to what is going on the characters heads when something is a bout to happen.<br /><br />You have these two characters, and you know the sex is going to be hot. What if it wasn't? What if they both came to that big event and after she says - "Is that it? Is that all you've got? I thought you;d be better at this." You could go all kinds of places from there. <br /><br />This is why I think my characters hate me.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-73721134945111022302010-07-17T12:46:26.255-04:002010-07-17T12:46:26.255-04:00RG - great post!

One of the reasons I enjoy reading your stories is that they are so complex, and there are never easy answers.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-79006279232800082082010-07-17T07:24:11.936-04:002010-07-17T07:24:11.936-04:00Greetings, RG,
What a wonderful post! You make it...Greetings, RG,<br /><br />What a wonderful post! You make it seem so easy. <br /><br />Now the interesting question for me is how one can reveal all these layers of complexity, gracefully, gradually, without doing a dump. <br /><br />I would say, however, that you've managed to hatch a plot without any difficulty at all.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-83959669935771504352010-07-17T05:08:26.115-04:002010-07-17T05:08:26.115-04:00Hi RG,

Great post and I was particularly struck by your phrase: "moral discomfort doesn't seem like the best setting for hanky panky."<br /><br />That's a wonderful truism - and breaking away from that mindset is what makes a good story great.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />AshAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.com
