Karlee,
In depth character development---the people you really get to know in a novel reveal themselves by what they do, and not so much by what you the writer (narrator) tells the reader.

Hi Karlee--
It seems nigh universal that writers envision movies playing in their heads when writing scenes. That's great . . . except the view is usually from a director's chair (or God). That's where 'tell' sneaks in: the writer's observational ...
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Well her I am -- this photo is the most recent one and the only one I can stand of myself, other than the one in my role playing costume. The role playing costume is for the part-time work I do at a living history museum here in CT; I play the daughter and wife of two 19th century whaling captains. My "character" spent more than twenty years at sea. This museum character is the foundation of the main character in my historical novel and based on journals/stories of real women who actually did go to sea during the mid-19th century.
Anyway, when I am not working at the museum or writing, I am a teacher for middle through high school -- my thrid career. My first career was in the medical field and my second career was raising my two children, now older.
I also enjoy traveling, sewing and crafts.
- Published Novels
- None so far -- I am still a "wana-be".
- Favourite Books
- No favorite books -- there are SO many good ones out there! But I especially enjoy reading historical fiction, especially those involving women. Of course, I love all Jane Austin's books and of her novels, my favoirte is Persuasion.
