Polar Bears and PenguinsDear A______,Polar Bears and Penguins
Do you remember the first time we met? I don't. I try real hard but the memory never forms. You always say I forget the most important parts.
Do you remember the first time we touched? Innocently enough as you handed me a root beer because I was afraid to try alcohol. You had ginger ale.
Do you remember the first time we kissed? I got so nervous I nearly fell off of my bed. You grabbed me and promised not to let me fall. You and I both know I already had.
Do you remember why I had to leave? I told you next to that tree we never carved our names into. You just smiled

Creating Dynamic CharactersWe've all read it, and we've all written it: a character who simply falls flat on the page. Sure, they're your baby, but after a while, you realize what everyone is saying is true. They're a cardboard cut out, a description of flowing tresses without a soul. And no matter how beautiful your leading lady or how dashing your hero, no one will care if they fall off a cliff and die unless they built a connection with them. Sure, you can pity a paper doll, but you empathize with a character because of what's inside them that makes them human (or dragon or space alien). You have to give them a soul. I know this sounds crazy, and all you skeptics ouCreating Dynamic Characters

I sent you that message on MySpace and didn't even bother to read my DA comments.
Oh well.
