I'm glad to know there are more of us who feel the same. :)Jenhttps://livingoutsidethelinesfindingthewritelife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273458842532393822.post-27167545439003308952020-09-04T20:16:50.321-04:002020-09-04T20:16:50.321-04:00You're good on the cover reveal, thanks for si...You're good on the cover reveal, thanks for signing up! I'll be sending out the info for it next week. :)<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the post! Another person who doesn't hate Jar Jar! There are a few of us in existence. I mean, I can understand why some people find him annoying, but I definitely don't think he deserves all the hate he gets.Morgan Hunekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090224903186681429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273458842532393822.post-51385402811082359852020-09-04T17:51:11.059-04:002020-09-04T17:51:11.059-04:00Hi, Morgan!

This is my first time doing anything like this, so I'm unsure how everything works.<br /><br />Also, great post! I agree that characters need to add to the plot in some way. I also love Jar Jar and am always sad to see so many others hating on him :(Jenhttps://livingoutsidethelinesfindingthewritelife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273458842532393822.post-32782110746921226002020-09-02T20:08:20.453-04:002020-09-02T20:08:20.453-04:00Thanks!

Big families ARE fun, but if it's not a necessary part of the story, it can definitely be overwhelming to the reader.Morgan Hunekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090224903186681429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273458842532393822.post-15959553746794268002020-08-31T12:41:43.602-04:002020-08-31T12:41:43.602-04:00Great observations!

I think if there's anything to take away from this--both for new writers and seasoned authors alike--it's asking ourselves, "Is this character necessary to the plot? Does this character add anything significant?"<br /><br />I hear you about big families. It may be a cool concept--and fun for the author--but it can be confusing for the reader, especially if the extra siblings/family members are just background characters (what I jokingly refer to as NPCs :-P). (And now I'm wondering if one of my secondary characters in <i>The White Birds</i> really needs eight younger siblings....)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Morgan! Your posts always generate a lot of thought. :-)<br /><br />God bless, and Happy Writing,<br />~R.R. Goodwill~TomWildRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914330705701940882noreply@blogger.com
