Your background plays a huge influence on how you perceive things...the same should go for the characters we create.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-50494848464958914672011-04-06T11:22:27.428-04:002011-04-06T11:22:27.428-04:00Just a few days ago I was working on a chapter dis...Just a few days ago I was working on a chapter discussing a character's medical condition and I was compelled to write a scene in which she visits the doctor years earlier to receive the news. I could feel her tension, see the examining room--everything. Even though it won't make the book, I'm writing it so I have a sense of how she felt.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669983710381993065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-25602012698058849162011-04-06T10:35:07.137-04:002011-04-06T10:35:07.137-04:00This is a great post on understanding our characte...This is a great post on understanding our characters. It is so important to really get to know our characters and how they react in certain situations. I use a lot of my schooling (Psychology) to better understand my characters and to make them real.Author Joshua Hoythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256754228034053632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-11202889584652229392011-04-06T09:41:22.435-04:002011-04-06T09:41:22.435-04:00You've made good points.

One might deal like A but the other might deal like D. You can't assume that those who are undervalued or come from a poorer situation will go by D either. <br />Having that backstory for each character is a fantastic idea BTW. You get to know your characters just a 'little bit more' than you once thought.Steena Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585255306121495098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454222325290313520.post-70248370212603970552011-04-06T09:07:46.504-04:002011-04-06T09:07:46.504-04:00I think D is more common with younger victims or p...I think D is more common with younger victims or people whose childhood led them to believe they didn't have much value to begin with. Almost all childhood molestation victims I've met go through D.ClothDragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542830590515695754noreply@blogger.com
