How do your characters handle conflict?POSTED BY UNK OVER AT The Unknown Screenwriter.
But before I go back to characters… LOL.
A big thanks to those of you posting links to articles at Screenwriting Scoop! Almost 4,000 unique visitors so far and the tracker has some pretty impressive internet connections taking a look but I want to thank everyone for checking it out… I hope it doesn’t take ANYTHING away from your writing. By the way, if you can think of a category we might need, just let me know. And to answer the 20 plus emails to those of you who keep wondering what my ulterior motive is for tossing up the site… There isn’t any. Geez. I don’t need money. I’m not selling anything. So suspicious! But that’s okay… I still thank you for the thought… LOL. Kay. I’ve been up all night on this rewrite and I really don’t have time for a huge post but while I’ve been working, I keep wondering about the things my characters keep doing… Some surprise me… Some don’t. The ones that don’t are because these are the things I want my characters to do. By the way… Let me get a little off track… Great stuff in the Scribosphere lately and a lot being blogged about on characters! Love seeing that! Real quick before I head back to rewrite Hell… I have a word processing document that I add to every so often when one of my characters handles conflict in a new way than any of my characters have handled it before… Some of you might think it’s kinda stupid… If so, please feel free to stop reading. LOL. On the other hand, I thought it might actually be of some help to those of you that just can’t get your characters out of BORING MODE. The following list is by no means exhaustive… Please feel free to add your own to the comments section… I think we can all benefit from different perspectives. One of the things that I’ve done with MY list is to develop it into OUTLINE style. This makes it real easy for me to add new bullets under specific headings or categories. What I like about having a list at hand is that every once in a while, you get stuck, right? Okay, maybe not. I sure as hell do — and when I do, I like breaking out my list because it helps me brainstorm even more ideas… So… Without further delay… Here’s the list:
