Being a Better Writer: Too Unique? · 9:12pm Apr 24th, 2019
Hello readers!
First of all, I want to thank all of you for being patient with this week’s Being a Better Writer post and allowing me to move it to today. My mother was in town, and it’s been … two years, I believe, since I was able to see here last. Thanks to your patience and understanding, I was able to spend Monday and a good portion of my Tuesday with her.
So thank you, again. Living so far apart I don’t get many chances to see her, so it was wonderful to have a day to catch up.
I have a second bit of good news as well! I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday for my wrist, and it was pronounced almost fully recovered, but recovered enough to no longer have work restrictions. I have one more physical therapy appointment, and they want me to keep up the exercises for another month or after that, and effectively until the final checkup in May, but …
I’m good!
I also caught a filling that had cracked and fallen out within a week at the dentist’s, so I’m getting that fixed without much issue.
Right, so there’s lot’s of good news from me. Hope things are going well for all you readers. But with that said, let’s dive into today’s topic!
So, what do I mean by naming this post Too Unique? Well, I want to talk about something today that can make or break a book’s characters.
In fact, it’s on my mind because the last book I finished? Broken. In part because each of its nine or so characters was this. They were too unique.
Again, I’m using that term, but not explaining. So let’s get down to business. What do I mean by “too unique?”
