As an example, if the character(s) are stranded and hungry, write after a day of fasting. If they're on a long forced march, take a long hike and collect the sensations of feelings of that experience for your narrative.Dr. Mohamedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673867214475179890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-74758102968408561552010-06-12T23:56:58.654-04:002010-06-12T23:56:58.654-04:00Sigh.

But at the same time I just can't get into my unicorn characters like I can my human characters. I can relate to the way your characters get into you, when I'm dealing with humans. I wish my unicorns would get into my dreams with sassy unicorn attitude...maybe I'm too old to write this book well. <br /><br />How old was CS Lewis when he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia? Hmmn, maybe I'm still too young!Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-34418511891304825922010-06-12T21:52:33.299-04:002010-06-12T21:52:33.299-04:00Cool!

But then it is late and I'm impressionable when it comes to dreams. I guess I'd better review their motivations before I fall asleep. ;)Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518718614911804428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-4564333223063427032010-06-11T17:58:47.585-04:002010-06-11T17:58:47.585-04:00That's very... disturbing.
