It's the added challenge of making the characters run counter current to what's always expected of them, it keeps them interesting.

And if a character is to change their mind, it's always fun to read how they process that change. I know I do that all the time. :)David P.

What was the character feeling? My natural mindset is to assume it's obvious why a character did what he did because of the situation - no matter how many other options were available. And even in those rare cases where there is not other option, it's still good to let the reader know what the character is feeling emotionally.

Every great character faces a crisis. The choice matters less than the process for making it. Huck makes the right choice. MacB makes terrible choices. It's the getting there that counts.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10739833215220853127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-81301258158964540782014-06-10T18:55:19.732+01:002014-06-10T18:55:19.732+01:00@Alex - of course you can get away with just sayin...@Alex - of course you can get away with just saying they did, but it misses a great opportunity to make things more engaging.<br /><br />@Murees - you're welcome.<br /><br />@Mary - it certainly is.<br /><br />@nutschell - I'm still here plugging away.
