Seriously heavily plotted. I need to work on the main character more to make her memorable. I believe the other characters are good enough to be remembered. Why do I have such a hard time making a memorable main character? She's just so boring.Tessa Quinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619129838476851241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-43151071434583881092010-09-30T10:18:41.745-04:002010-09-30T10:18:41.745-04:00Well said.

It's the style that makes the biggest difference. The writing. The voice. The way the story is told.<br /><br />Cormac McCarthy, JRR Tolkien, F. Scott Fitzgerald, J.D. Salinger. For each of these writers and their novels it's the style that has stayed with me for this long.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-87181895144960631032010-09-30T07:51:05.235-04:002010-09-30T07:51:05.235-04:00Fabulous answer Michelle. :DFabulous answer Michelle. :DChristine Fonsecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986034666903054819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507167840242313545.post-61009335811211430952010-09-30T07:45:00.684-04:002010-09-30T07:45:00.684-04:00I feel the same way.
