In reply to Lee C. Lee, thanks for the shout-out! And what do you wanna bet, the next census will show a drop in babies born the first half of November 2023? :)

In reply to Jenny Hansen. Jenny, I’m so glad you’re up to 30 minutes a day — it’s nice seeing progress in action! And good for you on resisting temptation…this won’t be the last chance for Ladder class; I’ll do it again in 2026. :)

Too late for the drawing, I know, but Ijust wanted to say "great post as always." Also wanted to assure anyone who's on the fence about taking your "Personality Ladder" class that it is well worth the time and effort. Exercises are presented in a friendly manner. And Laurie's feedback is honest and helpful, giving explanations of her response without trying to rewrite your story. I always come away from her class's with multiple ah-ha moments.

Hi Laurie! It's always so fun to have you here at WITS. I'm bummed I'm not up for your class yet. I love classes like this! But no more than 30-ish minutes of computer a day for about another month - I'm cheating and using my phone so I can comment!

In reply to Marcy. Marcy, I like the idea of having a Character of the Day to root for -- way to go on making the most of every book that crosses your path. And that one WAS great; right from the title you know it's gonna be intriguing.

Very important considerations for character development.
I found this article most enjoyable, Laurie

Hi Laurie. Great article, as always. Thank you. A character I root for? Well, today's favourite character will be Eva (the mother) in Lionel Shriver's We've Got to Talk about Kevin. :)

Thanks to everyone who offered examples of characters that keep readers engaged -- it's SO cool seeing how many ways a person's journey can do that! And congratulations to Sher Swansby, whose number got drawn by random dot org, on winning free registration to "His Personality Ladder" which starts on GroupsIO Monday...just let me know where to send your invitation. Laurie, who's gonna enjoy checking back over the next few days for any other character mentions because I love coming away from a blog full of TBR ideas :)
