You reference good characters though - I would be lucky to create characters that memorable! Here's hoping it all pays off!Teresa Huanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00856456576545942444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043891071525548863.post-50418036806943411002010-09-04T15:14:47.890-07:002010-09-04T15:14:47.890-07:00Teresa, I hesitate to comment because I get the fe...Teresa, I hesitate to comment because I get the feeling your self-esteem is fragile. You describe your experience as "delightful and delicious", a "thrilling trip", and "fancy free", yet you use words like "pain", "guilt", "dark recesses", and "sad, pathetic losers'. I am confused. However, there are many stories about the crazy little lives of pathetic losers who have captured our imagination and even become superstars. Think of Clyde in "Bonnie and Clyde"... Jack Nicholson in "As Good As It Gets". With a combination of strong supporting characters, clever situations, good dialogue, and their talent as actors to help tell the story,then wow. Maybe you can find some of those imaginative twists in the writing that you do. Go for it!pt3114https://www.blogger.com/profile/13289076362717842944noreply@blogger.com
