O'siyo Oginalii Tsilugi - Hello friends - Welcome - to My first blog. A place to share. |
 Dream Catchers An ancient Chippewa tradition The dream net has been made For many generations Where spirit dreams have played. Hung above the cradle board, Or in the lodge up high, The dream net catches bad dreams, While the good dreams slip on by. Bad dreams become entangled Among the sinew thread. Good dreams slip through the center hole, While you dream upon your bed. This is an ancient legend, Since dreams will never cease, Hang this dream net above your bed, Dream on, an be at peace.  |
| I was reading Creating Characters by the editors at Writer's Digest and came across this: There is a character hierarchy where not all characters are created equal. They indicate place holders,walk-ons, minor characters and your lead characters create the story. I'm curious how do you measure the importance of each character before the story develops or does it just fall into place? I'm a poet trying to learn more. Hi, I have been busy discussing the political events of the day. My take may or not be the same as others, but they are as I see things developing. Anyway, to get my mind back to my more creative modes I will get to the excellent question for tonight. Character Hierarchy: For me, the role that the character plays a huge role. I start out with the center character or protagonist then I create the adversary - the antagonist then at least two strong supporting characters. The story I am working on now has three. Then as I need them, there may be a couple of "place holders, walk-ons, or other minor characters" that don't place a huge part but keep the story moving. That is the most important. Regardless of their role, how big or small ask yourself what are they doing to move the story forward. |

I am getting bored of Netflix and Viki. I think I've watched all the good shows now... now my new binge - Kindle Unlimited... and of course, work and writing!
