Unfortunately, I did have to alter the opening slightly so that the mind of the reader didn't automatically go "there". I want it to be given a chance. So if there's a way to hint at those layers right off the bat, I think you're fine.<br />Also sorry about the Hunger Games thing! But now you should be properly motivated to read it!!Lisa Gail Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648323153868702165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-74650597897159026342011-08-15T06:27:02.378-05:002011-08-15T06:27:02.378-05:00wait. wait. wait...

I'll give each character a couple of descriptors in passing, but I'd like the reader to form a picture that's based more on personality and dialogue. Like the commenter above said, fantasy is good for this. Sci-fi, too. A few details about appearance and on with the story!<br /><br />As a reader, I'd never be daunted because a character dressed or looked a certain way. All I care about is whether their story is interesting and well-told.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981159884498574786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179540938463830608.post-60945808841341478852011-08-13T15:13:34.540-05:002011-08-13T15:13:34.540-05:00I think that is why I chose fantasy above all the ...I think that is why I chose fantasy above all the other genres. I write good non-fiction stories and can come up with some stereo-typical characters, but yes, I feel that agents/publishers might not get my MC.<br />Funny, I read this about you and I'm the same way. I wear jeans and a t-shirt almost always because they're comfortable, yet people think I am a slob. I have my hair cut in a sort of "punk"ish style and I'm overweight, yet I eat very healthy and not very much. Matter of fact, since surgery I've lost 12 or more pounds, but I don't move around much either. I write or sit at the computer doing stuff almost all day. I just started getting a little more active because I have arthritis in my spine and sitting gets to me.<br />Good post and lots to think about. This is why I try my best not to judge people.Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.com
