I also love the titles of your books. I'm looking forward to giving them a try.<br /><br />You are so right, no one wants to read about a character doing the same old boring thing. And so I wonder why most movies start out that way.

I have to admit, while I start with plot in books and I don't mind torturing my characters, I'm pretty change-averse in my real life.<br /><br />(Of course, this could be a good thing. If I get stuck while I'm plotting, I usually take that as a sign it's time for another dead body. I guess some things C.J.

I will plot until the cows come home and obviously I will use any cliche available to do it.<br /><br />Maybe we should all just pair up and be done with it.

But I need to work on the structure of the plots because I usually had one MC who went through every trial I could imagine and I balanced him/her out with another MC who was steadfast. I've been told on numerous occasions that steadfast is boring. So, I work at plotting.<br /><Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-40884457194782080172011-03-02T09:52:01.823-05:002011-03-02T09:52:01.823-05:00Awesome post, Siri!

Characters come easy. I love to study people and put characters in a scene to watch them react against each other. But plot is a bit contrived. In real life things don't always happen in such a neat linear progression. And they don't completely resolove.<br /><br />And I've also had a hard time putting my Christian characters Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-65296244569916310232011-03-02T08:07:34.954-05:002011-03-02T08:07:34.954-05:00The plot for my life took a beating last year.

The only way to find out is to continue the journey. <br /><br />When it comes to stories plot comes easy. It's giving depth to my characters that I struggle with.
