It's the part I enjoy most though. Once that first draft is out of the way, I can start to enjoy myself. :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-61286301505796032062009-03-26T08:51:00.000-06:002009-03-26T08:51:00.000-06:00Who knew James Bond could be so insightful?

It's much harder to do the work and figure out what really makes them tick.<BR/><BR/>Haven't seen Quantum of Solace yet (bad L.C., I know), but I really enjoyed Casino Royale, and your post makes me want to check out the sequel.L.C.

This is where most of my "aHA!" moments arrive, where I make a lot of the connections that eluded me in the first draft, where I really get to my characters' hearts. I've learned if it ain't hard, I ain't digging deep enough.
