Today’s writing quote is from Jack Bickham…
Fiction writers too often forget that interesting characters are almost always characters who are active—risk-takers—highly motivated toward a goal. Many a story has been wrecked at the outset because the writer chose to write about the wrong kind of person—a character of the type we sometimes call a wimp.

Hehehe wimp. Too true. Hopefully, I’ve avoided that 🙂 Have you ever seen my high school jeans? I used to draw all over every pair with Sharpie markers. I even had one pair in my final AP art project. I’ll have to do a blog post about them sometime.
A,
I think I saw a picture of them on Facebook a while back. They looked incredible!

Christi, I once tried to take a whimp to turn her life inside out and it turned out that I just wrote about a whimp … a three line critique from an agent cured me forever !!
That basement design is extraordinary … thanks for sharing 🙂
Florence,
I’m just wondering…Did your wimp start out as one, and then never grow into a strong person? Or were they always one?
Christi
She started as a wimp and then got strong 🙂
Great quote, and oh my gosh, what an awesome basement. I love the fireplace the part where it looks as if you can actually walk into a small hall to look at books.
Diane,
When I first saw that my jaw dropped in amazement. I’ve looked at it a few times now, and always find something new. Did you see the ceiling?
Christi
No, I was too busy looking at the walls. I’ll have to look again.
Thanks for the quote. The Sharpie art was awesome! I wonder what it looks like in real life?

Tori,
I bet it looks even better if you’re standing in the room. I only wish they’ve moved the furniture to take the pictures. I bet lots of great stuff is hiding behind those couches.
Thanks for visiting,
