Sorry someone pulled back the curtain...Hey Sharon,<br /><br /><i>Sorry someone pulled back the curtain on your Star Wars fantasy.</i><br /><br />It's okay. Unless he makes more movies, the bad man can't hurt me anymore.<br /><br />Character makes all the difference, and I don't think enough authors realize that. We need people we can relate with taking us through their journey, otherwise when things happen around them, we won't care very much. There have been some truly remarkable characters (I read THE HELP a few weeks ago and can still remember most of the characters' names -- Miss Skeeter, Minnie, Abeline, Stuart, Mae Mobly, Miss Celia, Mr. Johnny, Hilly...more than I thought!) And that story really stayed with me. Whereas some of the other books just fall flat.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting! (And Rhiannon TOTALLY makes my memorable character list!)Rosalie Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478249704504526481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689416389375888620.post-77247604113780633652011-06-22T10:08:08.149-07:002011-06-22T10:08:08.149-07:00Sorry someone pulled back the curtain on your Star...Sorry someone pulled back the curtain on your Star Wars fantasy .<br /><br />I agree with you about remembering a character. Remembering the name later on is a good sign. If an author can make me cry, cuss or lol (hello, Jamie, I am talking to you!) then you've done your job. Do all three and I am a fangirl. Barrons, Sookie Stackhouse, Rachel Morgan and Harry Potter live permanently in my head now.Sharon Stognerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732141088637958862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689416389375888620.post-41871564703837949602011-06-20T07:21:11.686-07:002011-06-20T07:21:11.686-07:00@Nikki

If we look at them as a writing exercise, the pain is a little more tolerable. ;)<br /><br />@Sabrina<br />Die-hard fans must draw allegiance somewhere. I'll never be as into Star Trek as I was into Star Wars, and I'll always <i>like</i> Star Wars more...but Star Trek is superior.<br /><br />In the end, though, Star Trek v. Star Wars matters little. Harry Potter Crucios them both. ;)Rosalie Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478249704504526481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689416389375888620.post-63781857586981318142011-06-20T07:08:27.191-07:002011-06-20T07:08:27.191-07:00HA!

Han totally shot first. Dammit. It was a ridiculous scene and Lucus just keeps raping our childhoods. <br /><br />I'm both a Star Wars & Star Trek fan and have never understood having to be just one or the other!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207269714279481677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3689416389375888620.post-275078853080692402011-06-20T06:56:50.121-07:002011-06-20T06:56:50.121-07:00I'm so sorry.

Hold your head high that the original trilogy still lives.<br /><br />Seriously, this is a great topic for writers. As an aspiring writer, I worry a lot about making my characters as memorable to the reader as they are to me! Thanks for the humorous way to bring up the issue!Nikki Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812277776247112787noreply@blogger.com
