And the need to know the limits of the crimes and problems you give your characters, Sarah. Or Linda's pleasure of turning to Hamish after times of dark writing.<br /><br />But a spell tattoo? Are you sure you're joking? Might it not be invisible anyway, Michelle? Am not convinced. And will you be constructing a thaumaturgic Royal Wedding tea-towel?Penny Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16386668303428008498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-2659932399760017702011-01-11T07:35:09.445+00:002011-01-11T07:35:09.445+00:00Definitely do.

When writing, I think I'm careful not to get too involved with characters who have "Issues", because I don't want to relive the negativity over the period of time it would take to finish a manuscript. The limit to where I will perhaps go is a teenager with a mild case of kleptomania. And of course children who are orphans, although that's circumstantial. Although I don't mind editing or proofreading problematic characters. And I did manage to recently read Suskind's Perfume without acquiring any paraphilias. But yes, there probably are other method writers out there.Sarah Taylor-Fergussonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01507013836947182706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-76759480909348529982011-01-10T09:02:08.320+00:002011-01-10T09:02:08.320+00:00I'm still channeling the wolf for rewrites - m...I'm still channeling the wolf for rewrites - makes me a little more difficult to live with, but as none of my characters are particularly pleasant or domesticated I'm always hard work.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442269757463713048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-68367359569578012392011-01-10T08:33:11.673+00:002011-01-10T08:33:11.673+00:00So I could write Historical and Fantasy adventure,...So I could write Historical and Fantasy adventure, I took up sword fighting.

I definitely try to occupy my character's skins when they are doing something I wouldn't normally do myself, like riding a thaumaturgic tea towel or acquiring a spell tattoo or being dragged under water by a colossal squid. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to write it.michelle lovrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01026972300195225090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-15769797881157922872011-01-10T03:04:22.773+00:002011-01-10T03:04:22.773+00:00Interesting question.
