Thanks! This was pretty helpful. Especially about making the secondary characters kind of think they're the main character and have their own goals and everything. I'm trying to work on that because some of my secondary characters are rather flat. I think I do too much emotion, though. My charries probably seem like super sensitive toddlers with all the whining they do... Oh, well. I've got plenty of time to improve. I was just about to watch Star Wars... My friend Julie loves it (her whole room is themed Star Wars) and so I finally was going to watch it. And then spoiler alert! That's okay, though. I'll try to forget that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father... It's not working...

"Mean and angry without enough reason" resonated with me. Paul Bishop -- LAPD officer and talented writer-- was reading the opening of my second book and said, "Why is this character so hostile? He has no reason to be." He went on to suggest gently that unfounded hostility is a kind of lazy writing, when the writer can't come up with a real emotion. He was right, and ever since it has jumped out at me in books and most often on TV.
True story -- in the same session I had a question about guns. Without missing a beat Paul reached into his boot top, removed a small revolver and answered my question. Okay, how many of you have had a reviewer actually pull a gun?

Everything in moderation, right? Now, if only I could...

Very good point, Andrea. Stoicism is why I didn't have emotions the first 3/4 of my life. Thanks for adding to the conversation.

Welcome to comments, Lauren. Yes, when I got to know one of my secondary characters better--and where he lived--I found out his mother is a fortune teller. Wow, some great plot twists with that one!
