Yesterday I was thinking, "without desire, there is no story." The desire of the character often becomes the first thing we talk about in the craft of a great story. We haven't talked much about vulnerability when I've been tuned in. But I like this word. It really sums up a lot. I heard something the other day about how it's characters' desires that get them into trouble. I guess that is what makes them vulnerable. Really at this point, I'd be happy to create a character who was something besides vulnerable, or who had any desires at all. Right now my characters are like over warmed broccoli. So all you inkpotters: What are some "comforts" or strengths you've granted one of your characters, and where did you glean the idea from?pollyalice_artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583471955974483276noreply@blogger.com
