Climbing an escalator is easy, but climbing one with oil all over it would be very tough.

She's supposed to be a really monkeyed with version of the Lord Ruler. When I'd just started writing this post, Kat and Lucy had dance troops. For some reason I changed them to assassins. <br /><br />Did you get that the rainforest example was a take-off of Partials?<br /><br />Ooh, good thinking about the inability to accept oneself. That's an excellent point. And that is a great idea for a character arc. My thought process hadn't gone in that direction yet. I think this will be the next area of character development I start thinking about, so thanks for that. <br />Lily J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08517974784100159005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604618242929059089.post-52657607930440541552013-07-21T18:40:27.016-04:002013-07-21T18:40:27.016-04:00Excellent post, my friend!

I'm not sure exactly who Lucy was supposed to be, but you're right; Kat's reaction was perfect.<br /><br />Let me tell you, this is excellent advice for character development. One thing people are notoriously bad at is accepting themselves-- if something happened at the beginning of the book that causes the character to question their most defining trait, then you've got a perfect character arc. She keeps trying to change herself, but in the end, she can't defeat her antagonist by pretending to be someone else. Thanks for the idea.Liam, Head Philhttp://insideliamsbrain.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
