fun hero character
But at the same time, the commonplace statement about them is true: every character is the hero of his own story. Each has a justification for his actions that is convincing to him. It's fun to give these people voices.
book character evil-characters
I do like to explore evil characters in my books.
character writing ideas
If I don't have a project going, I sit down and begin to write something - a character sketch, a monologue, a description of some sight, or even just a list of ideas.
character writing looks
What I look for in any character, good or bad, is whether I can hear him speak. If I can imagine him that clearly, then I can write about him.
character common good-person
The characters you refer to as predatory and unsavory are useful. They're the ones who make a novel into a thriller. They're active, and most of the common virtues, the signs of a good person, are not.
character voice three
Once you have invented a character with three dimensions and a voice, you begin to realize that some of the things you'd like him to do to further your plot are things that such a person wouldn't, or couldn't, do.
lying book character
You have very accurately described the difficulty of presenting my books on film: many of my characters are alone most of the time, and when they do talk, what they say is mostly lies. That can make for a pretty confusing film.
patience reading character
Reading a novel in which all characters illustrate patience, hard work, chastity, and delayed gratification could be a pretty dull experience.
dead partly promote public traveling
And yes, I'm also traveling more, not only to promote DEAD AIM, but also on other public appearances. This is partly because I want to make up for not doing it in the past.
appealed clear impressed matter painting saw style subject uses
I was very impressed with the paintings. The subject matter that she uses is very clear and her style of painting that I saw was something that really appealed to me.
best faithfully producers reproduce responsibility
When producers make a film, their responsibility is to make the best film they can, not necessarily to faithfully reproduce my book.
available buying good great job people program putting together
I think we did a great job of putting together a program that would have made good e-books available had people been buying e-books in any real numbers.
series
It was a lot of fun, and writing a series is comfortable. It's almost like having a secure job.
hope
I do hope to bring Jane Whitefield back before too long.
