Far too often, I start out a work expecting my character to be fully fleshed out and completely alive to both me and the story.<br /><br />However, when I go back and re-read, I notice that my character evolves so much over the course of the writing that I usually have to go back and re-write much of the early text because the character has changed so much.Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393689307300304035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-55073000222882923512009-07-28T14:13:37.001-04:002009-07-28T14:13:37.001-04:00Wow, Lillie, thank you!

Characters can indirectly influence us, cause us to have new or different perspectives, thus growing and learning ourselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04855818112935929377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-13300236942371004052009-07-28T08:45:21.976-04:002009-07-28T08:45:21.976-04:00A story without some kind of character growth is d...A story without some kind of character growth is dull and flat. You do need some kind of change, hopefully for the good, unless it's a Stephen King kind of book or monster picture.
