We have to know the evils our characters face, the evils with in them, and what makes the choose light or darkness. <br /><br />And guess what they are like us.... they don't always get it right.Amber Lynaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16890268873178010212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-15618030607101410192010-07-15T09:07:45.342-06:002010-07-15T09:07:45.342-06:00Awesome post!

That kind of stuff is almost impossible for me to sit through. If I can't fast forward through it, I leave the room and come back when it's over.<br /><br />That being said, I know I need it in my stories. It's just so hard! But I guess maybe I should steal a few pages from my dark side (there's plenty to choose from).LisaAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834877308495640917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-3991655335884905642010-07-14T18:27:46.167-06:002010-07-14T18:27:46.167-06:00ooh, I love this post!

If we make evil look like a fuzzy kitten with a deep sinister laugh and the worse he can do is spray litter pebbles, readers won't believe he can do more than that.<br /><br />I know for sure if anyone had any doubt about what you're writing (even if it does have evil in it). Pray. Pray first and always. Ask for guidance. Don't be afraid to ask for a Priesthood blessing or to fast. Go to the temple and meditate.<br /><br />If it's His will, you surely will come out with a full story, one that will be a "light unto this world." ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the post! ;)Elizabeth Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447552226485618096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-86497471149540815572010-07-14T17:07:37.675-06:002010-07-14T17:07:37.675-06:00I love the Star Wars quote.

Thanks for getting that across so well.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16328973674012805812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-71279502233905452452010-07-14T10:31:16.399-06:002010-07-14T10:31:16.399-06:00You are always allowed dark chocolate.
Sometimes ...You are always allowed dark chocolate.<br /><br />Sometimes it's SO hard to add tension when you don't want there to be any. Like, my poor person! She's dealt with so much already!<br />But it's good stuff, and it just makes the ending that much more satisfying. You know, if you write books that are supposed to end well.Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04630744737142051232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7814771751990061325.post-76972684191044232732010-07-14T08:44:28.650-06:002010-07-14T08:44:28.650-06:00Great example.

You said it better. Also wondering, does this mean I can have a little Dark chocolate - you know for balance?Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720132801165161457noreply@blogger.com
