For instance, one of my cats right now has a hurt tail and so has one of those pet collars around her head and we have to keep her quarantined so the other cats won't lick her injury. We're also finding out she's nimble enough to lick her back - not only her tail - with the thing on. We just gave her her pain meds and she's acting tipsy. So yeah, we can and should add a lot more detail. It makes the character come alive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442282611803175100.post-81031438925861874762009-10-23T18:01:37.680-04:002009-10-23T18:01:37.680-04:00Such good advice, Cari and from Charlene.

There's so much more to it than inserting tab A into slot B. Elizabeth is right on target. A writer needs to become her characters so it's not just sex, it's them making love as only those two unique people can.Helen Hardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820047167673628170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442282611803175100.post-76725307639515397372009-10-19T11:12:14.805-04:002009-10-19T11:12:14.805-04:00Very true and very wise.

Who really cares where his hands are at all times (OK, I do I admit)? The quote really resonated because it's the characters pushing the story forward regardless of what they're doing that makes it special.Kaily Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986029808181756915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442282611803175100.post-83707678246231781882009-10-18T23:13:03.350-04:002009-10-18T23:13:03.350-04:00Wow!
