It actually has quite a bit about character development, character interviews, etc. and has helped me a lot with that problem recently (when some of my characters were simply refusing to let me know what was up with them :-)). Other than that (and this is hard to fit in), but I can heartily recommend the (very long) way around of making sure to keep up with a regular reading schedule of classics--to keep the fuel burning and to absorb the masters techniques so they're second nature....if that makes sense. :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-43069808560192541662014-06-11T10:42:33.934-07:002014-06-11T10:42:33.934-07:00Ah okay.

I'm looking forward to reading it. :) <br /><br />I guess I'm thinking more about showing /who/ your character is, how he feels, the way he views the world, via setting. So, I guess character development. *nods*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-60048873132218395632014-06-10T10:46:05.995-07:002014-06-10T10:46:05.995-07:00I do hope you can read it!

I can't stop smiling about it even as I sit here writing. ;-)<br /><br />Yes, I thought the hair-do's in the Gwyneth Paltrow one would annoy me, too, but she's so elegant I've actually come to really like some of them. And yes, (I think) she's quite/very good. I'd say I like both versions about equally. The '96 is shorter, so I think they bring out more of the humor in certain characters (the Elton's, etc.), and all the scenes are just very pithy and intense. And they really have a neat emphasis on friendship as being a wonderful opening to love. Anyhow, do let me know if you see it sometime. There are a couple hilarious moments I think you would really like and there are some great lines that can be adapted for all sorts of situations and get used a lot at our house. ;-)<br /><br />But, yes, I did really like Romola Garai's Emma, too. I wasn't sure during the first episode...but I was pretty floored by the end. :-)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-50590387308245313342014-06-09T06:11:28.152-07:002014-06-09T06:11:28.152-07:00Oh yes, and Romola Garai's Emma was brilliant ...Oh yes, and Romola Garai's Emma was brilliant too. :-) I think Gwenyth Palrow's hair would annoy me, but maybe not.
