Hi All!
Just a reminder that I won't be posting an interview this weekend - I'm going out of town to visit my sister but I can tell you who my next guess will be - G. E. Taylor, contemporary romance author.
We're going to continue on with the handout I've been working on by Janice Bennett. The last seven posts have dealt with what to do before you write. So now that you've written that rough draft... You're happy that it's finally done, but now the real work begins. You have to edit it. Like a lot.
Janice spoke about premise then asked questions about your characters again so I'm combining them into one blog.
As far as your premise goes: did you follow it through and not get lost in sub plots along the way?
Now how about your Characters?
1.) Now you should review your characters. Make sure you've highlighted all their facets, explored their emotional states and made full use of their personalities.
2.) Check and see if they always behave in a manner that is logical and makes sense for their personality.
3.) Make sure your reader can identify with them.
4.) Look at the conflict between your hero and heroine. Is it strong enough between them and the characters that interact with them through out your book?
