Ditto writing my characters. Now I'm chock full of validation. Your blog is like chocolate for my soul. Ha ha.<br /><br />Can I make a suggestion? Could you leave a blank line between paragraphs? It makes the blog post more digestible to the eyes.<br /><br />Now, onto some commentary. Today I was exploring my love of certain fictional characters. It is their thought processes and the actions to which they lead that cause me to admire them. Buffy and Chuck Bartowski (from NBC's 'Chuck' which I haven't seen since my husband deployed but I love it) are my two favorite "heroes" because I just adore that they place compassion before reason and treat every situation as individual and they're always the ones their peers look toward for any help. Please bear with my run-on sentences and rambling! My point is that in recognizing my reactions and reading your blog posts, I see that my writing can resonate more strongly with me if I will characterize with the direction and revelation of internal observation.<br /><br />Thanks again for a great blog post Livia.Jessie Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06129700591503474442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-74524962146148912402009-10-28T10:46:43.596-04:002009-10-28T10:46:43.596-04:00Great post.

I'm a big fan of internal observation in fiction, but I couldn't have described why as well as you have. <br /><br />KeithKeith Pyeatt, author of paranormal thrillershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823860449145957932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-92197188544050196042009-10-27T21:11:42.989-04:002009-10-27T21:11:42.989-04:00A great post!
