Then I wonder hmm did I do that all wrong is it a good way or bad way to do it.

Myths, legends...it all speaks to me. I couldn't write a "normal" world book if I tried.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831979625799634312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4944046112216378689.post-17622029509384917512012-08-21T14:34:47.214-04:002012-08-21T14:34:47.214-04:00Interesting concept, a parasite causing vampirism....Interesting concept, a parasite causing vampirism.<br /><br />I do a lot of walking and yardwork, which frees up my brain to think out the main structure of my story. At least for this book. The first one was spawned in a very different, which I won't go into here. And, of course, the characters putstuff in here too--I do believe they take on a life of their own, and plan stuff while I'm not looking.<br /><br />Anyway--how did you get into this genre in the first place?

Believe me, I've considered instituting mandatory a group sessions with some of my characters, or an extended trips to the naughty corner for not listening (or talking) to me!<br /><br />In all seriousness, I think this approach is a great exercise for getting into the minds and hearts of your characters - details (even the small ones, like chocolate or no) really add depth and dimension.<br /><br />Thanks for the insight!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13514936652167080816noreply@blogger.com
