Though it is interesting sometimes to try to relate people's discussion about writing into my photography--- ie: for this post, how would I draw people in and get them to wonder and think when viewing a photo I have crafted?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12296605978050900171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779183012658025206.post-89268235883723768602011-04-18T22:24:39.071-07:002011-04-18T22:24:39.071-07:00Emototive characterization is my hook.

Even in fantasy.<br /><br />Characters are my focus. Once the reader relates to the character, then the plot can be about almost anything, as long as it follows a logical progression.<br /><br />Your stories here did that for me. The published works that I read of yours also have a talent for drawing me into the character, and thus making me believe in whatever "quest" they embark on.<br /><br />Follow your own writing heart Eric. Not every story is right for every reader.<br /><br />.....dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779183012658025206.post-2549740777178717492011-04-18T14:33:08.618-07:002011-04-18T14:33:08.618-07:00Sexual tension and the angst of following through ...Sexual tension and the angst of following through with it.

Though I ca...Sad. I enjoyed your humorous stories.<br /><br />Though I can see how some might have been offended by Bloody Stripper. But then, I have to wonder, are those people even worth your time?<br /><br />To answer your question, I like high stakes and character empathy to keep readers reading. If they care about the protag, then they'll care about the horrible crap I'm putting him through. Otherwise, I'm not doing my job.Stephanie Loréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512485557711771802noreply@blogger.com
