Acting really does make you get into a character's head -- and think about actual motion and action of the scene -- and I think it's something every writer ought to do at least once even if they aren't writing drama.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-86844321752858004992015-07-02T21:20:56.803-05:002015-07-02T21:20:56.803-05:00Yes...while I prefer my characters to be memorable...Yes...while I prefer my characters to be memorable in a good way, I'll settle for just memorable.

It is amazing how much you learn about writing when you're just rewriting, isn't it?
