I was going to add index cards helps too but I made the mistake of having far too many and kept adding more bits of the character that I just got lost and tried to do a flow chart instead and that just got too complicated! LOL!!<br /><br />As for tips - erm.. I look to you for tips! LOL!<br /><br />GOOD LUCK!! Your book is so going to rock!!<br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-26312946497926867882010-09-15T07:31:37.868-07:002010-09-15T07:31:37.868-07:00Like the new layout BTW!Like the new layout BTW!T.J.

I am kinda stuck right now on my current WIP (I have it half done and the ending done. And I know how to get there) I'm just not sure how to write it? If that makes sense. So you have converted me. I'll tell you how it goes!T.J.

A good character arc needs relationships. <br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Oh, and since you like a snarky voice, I'd be remiss if I didn't tell you I just started reading one: The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade.
