I found it to be very helpful, and I plan to review it again this year as a refresher. <br /><br />Show don't tell is a stickler for me, especially as it relates to conveying the characters' emotions and attraction. I would love for you to cover that in a future post.Delaney Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703253397603304388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-79502489851362408922011-01-10T01:01:47.127+00:002011-01-10T01:01:47.127+00:00I'd love to see a post on something I've r...I'd love to see a post on something I've read in how-to-write-romancebooks but never quite understood. <br /><br />I've read that each character's external goal is linked to a deep psychological need. That this need drives their behaviour and actions and that their external goal is a misguided attempt to fulfill this need <br /><br />But in some stories the characters' goals seems to take them away from fulfilling their need, so I'm a bit puzzled about how their inner needs can be driving their actions.<br /><br />For instance Shrek has a deep need to open up and connect with others and he won't be truly happy until he does. But his external goal is to get his swamp back (and go back to being alone in his swamp with his 'keep out' signs--a goal which doesn't seem to have any connection with his emotional need.)<br /><br />Thanks, Kate<br /><br />LucyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-10659875395844130072011-01-07T09:06:42.248+00:002011-01-07T09:06:42.248+00:00The dos and don't of writing superb dialogue (...The dos and don't of writing superb dialogue (and how much if you want to avoid ending up writing a film script)<br /><br />Character arcs to see how H/h grow and resolve conflict.<br /><br />In summery, basically anything - I'll read it no matter the topic.<br /><br />LindseyLindseyHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897427820851021234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-28117587093019852782011-01-07T05:12:46.439+00:002011-01-07T05:12:46.439+00:00Hi Kate,
