P.S., post one of yours one day :) I bet it's a ton better than you say!
And I will work on trying to make my songfics less stilted as I do want to write more of them! :)
Or that I'm a hopeless rambler =/ ahh well. Ahh, when I say everymans man i mean that he's bland- you could apply his voice to a plethora of different people. Lex's character is shown through her decisions and her thought processes as well as her interactions with others. You can tell she wasn't contrived.
Living, I always find, depends on the character. Some people are difficult to bring to life, others run riot and ruin plans :') second type is always better though. I can barely churn out a two line dialogue sometimes but what can you do?
I think I gathered courage from the fact that (even if I do say so myself) that it is much better than some of the stuff I've seen posted, or some of the things I have written.
Thank you for reading it, and helping me on it :) <3
Holycrap. My teachers are just like that, they must think we only have their class or that we have no lives. I hate it. What year are you in school? I'm a juniorrrr. Hardest year yet. :P But, thankfully I only have one year left! :D
First and foremost, before i say anything else, I will say thank you for the criticism :) seriously, when I read it I just had this huge happy smile on my face :3 so thank you.
Ahh, I understand what you mean. I struggle with dialogue most- it kills me. I do not enjoy it. I think making believable characters is the hardest bit, and you do it so well :)
Thank you, I changed the point of view after I'd written it.
What would you say the biggest problem with characterisation is? The lack of personal detail or just because they are all sort of everyman-characters?
And thank you once again for commenting (I'm sure you didn't expect a novella in return so my apologies).
