I think the rules are wonderful guidelines, but nobody can ever adhere to them perfectly.Susan Littlefieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876465032469555397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3114104875256267735.post-50599084976316630752010-03-11T18:21:40.809-08:002010-03-11T18:21:40.809-08:00Congrats on being quoted in Writer's Digest!

Whether the plot is simple or complicated, fast paced or slow, if the characters aren't interesting then the readers won't care. It's worrying about the characters that makes them keep turning the page.<br /><br />As for Heinlein, I don't have a problem with most of his rules per se but I don't live by them. Frankly, as I've said before, "rules schmules".<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.com
