Great post. :) I would have to add that to make the reader miserable you would first have to make your characters uncomfortable and the situations they find themselves in miserable. There is something quite satisfying reading about other peoples' lives and the fixes they find themselves in. Keeps the reader flippin' pages trying to find out how they are going to get out of it. :) All the best as you write for His Glory.

That is what pulls me to my favorite authors. Their characters become so real through their trials and growth. Intense plot might have them flipping the pages, but intriguing characters will have them savoring the words.Kristi Ann Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02793556296873021306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673421631566519988.post-28126076561238944902012-06-04T06:13:57.000-07:002012-06-04T06:13:57.000-07:00Kristi!

But those things are rare and if we measure our success that way, we'll be always disappointed. <br><br>So glad you stopped by, Caroline, and that the article was helpful to you!Kristi Ann Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02793556296873021306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673421631566519988.post-34289137508390469482012-06-04T18:25:00.000-07:002012-06-04T18:25:00.000-07:00Kristi, Very thought provoking post!

Sounds like the perfect goal. <br><br>One of my goals has always been to use my words as that tool to make the reader stop and evaluate God's role in their own life- to create characters that become the evangelist to the reader. This goal is especially important to me because I'm so NOT GOOD with words verbally (in person), but I love to find that perfect combination of written words that holds the readers interest and touches the heart.Dianna Shufordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05557599981759374750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673421631566519988.post-48244676928088744452012-06-04T19:18:17.000-07:002012-06-04T19:18:17.000-07:00I love the ability to revise and think and edit un...I love the ability to revise and think and edit until we write just the right words.
