No resumes -- that seams like a little TOO DRY way of looking back at one's writing.<BR/><BR/>For me it's all about connecting with a charater. And you're definately right, Mary Ann, you want to do that in layers -- so the audience learns more and more about each character as the story progresses. <BR/><BR/>And, once again, you're so right about getting under 120 pages. No matter what story you're trying to tell you've gotta try to look professional and slide under that bar.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great posts!<BR/><BR/>- E.C. Henry from Bonney Lake, WAE.C.

I don't move to the next one until I answer all my questions... I agree with you that we need to examine each on more closelyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
