Showing the other side without turning the reader off. Difficult but possible, I think. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I think one of the keys is to not show the negative traits until later. Let the reader see the true character first.<BR/><BR/>'Course, this is a problem for "educational" plots where turning a negative trait to a positive is the point of the book.... But still possible.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1164556831878164412006-11-26T11:00:00.000-05:002006-11-26T11:00:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your experience at this worksho...Thanks for sharing your experience at this workshop. I'll put to use the information on three dimensional characters in my own WIP. I hate it when someone reads a scene and complains when someone does something out of character,claiming it makes the character "unlikable." Don't we all have unlikable traits? <BR/><BR/>I also share your view on Daniel Craig. Haven't seen Casino Royale yet--will savor it in the near future--but I like a man that rugged, who narrows his blue eyes better than Steve McQueen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1164225545383814092006-11-22T14:59:00.000-05:002006-11-22T14:59:00.000-05:00Excellent post.

And yes, Daniel Craig is a very sexy Bond. I have several gorgeous pictures of him on my blog.

I like the description of the different dimentions of the characters and showing both side (+ / -) to them. I'll have to play around with that today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
