Thanks for the shout-out! Still getting through all of the entries, phew....
Cool quotes! I love the first picture!!! =)
Real people are all sorts of things. They do not all have to have character arcs, gorgeous SOs, or a central issue. Anything can be chronicled. A 1 dimensional character is flawed, a two dimensional character is screwed up, but a three dimensional character is screwed up AND very likeable despite it. A fourth dimensional character is all of these things, except that you want her so much in your world that you become her.
Thanks for quoting me and linking back to my post. I'm glad I was able to write something helpful.
I love both of the pics you included with this post!
Thanks for the quote and the link! I'm very impressed by all your work, here and on your other blog.
Your talent is obvious, and I envy you that. Come check my entry will you? I used it for another entry for a blogfest held on the same day.
It involves a 13 year street kid, older than his years due to his experiences with the predators he's met on those streets.
You have a lovely blog, and you've already made so many good friends in the blogverse. I'm a new one. Roland
Thanks for adding a quote from me. I feel famous now!
And comment once in awhile. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing to an empty house. You know us insecure writers. Roland
