It is the "go ahead" color... think it again.. kind of going in circles here.. but it is fun to contemplate.Attica Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407830645336766147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-41682589478002056662010-06-07T16:50:04.964-04:002010-06-07T16:50:04.964-04:00Hi Anna!

The character arc is one of the most important features of a story - it shows some kind of psychological shift, or change in viewpoint. I will do another blog on character arcs - thanks for the idea!Léna Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690737893045563164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-84373738560267159562010-06-05T11:26:33.357-04:002010-06-05T11:26:33.357-04:00Wasn't your gran's husband her harshest cr...Wasn't your gran's husband her harshest critic?

Red is so harsh and purple is so much more unique-ey and will accomplish the editing work in a less bloody (couldn't resist lol) way.<br /><br />You must go to the mailbox after this weekend. A purple pen will arrive. If you wish, it can become your trademark as it has become mine. You will come to embrace purple and many hugs from Chicago will embrace you.<br /><br />donotpassgodonotcollectanymoneyjustkeepwriting<br /><br />xoxomjcPurple pen providernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891613734634213201.post-45230575811464749912010-06-02T23:50:16.579-04:002010-06-02T23:50:16.579-04:00Wow Shira, I'm glad you were inspired!
