[...] Have been doing one last read-through/brushup on the novella. There was a place name that had always bugged me. It was the name for the highest point on a certain rugged mountain road. Originally I had called it Midpoint, always thinking I’d come up with something better later. Later I changed it to Vista, [...] Two more lists I made using a characterization exercise from Lynn Viehl. I’m finding this very useful indeed! ..compile an alphabetical list of quirks, traits and/or other aspects of personality (positive or negative) that best describe your character. Try to avoid words that are synonyms of each other. For the tough letters (X and [...] Here’s a fun and useful characterization exercise from Lynn Viehl: ..compile an alphabetical list of quirks, traits and/or other aspects of personality (positive or negative) that best describe your character.
