I sort of think about them and how they are doing and what they are up to in my plot (or what they should be up to, anyway).rattoJust Another Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589166715361819941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-39710506836943772722010-02-16T20:44:28.776-05:002010-02-16T20:44:28.776-05:00Which character do you think about the most from t...Which character do you think about the most from that book, Sarah?<br /><br />And thanks :)Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-89968969168856694222010-02-16T20:40:55.816-05:002010-02-16T20:40:55.816-05:00Well, as you know, I've momentarily shelved my...Well, as you know, I've momentarily shelved my one semi-finished novel. Perhaps I should say quasi-finished? Pseudo-finished? You know what I'm talking about. I'm trying to distance myself from the characters and the story, and then revisit it...but I can't stop thinking about it altogether, anyway.<br /><br />And I thought your poem was lovely!Just Another Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589166715361819941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-27269843192938780322010-02-16T18:23:06.684-05:002010-02-16T18:23:06.684-05:00Shannon-- I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Definitely made me laugh!<br /><br />Um..I've put a few stories I love on hold, but not any characters. Only because my characters talk to me so much they literally won't let me ignore them (and yes, I realize that sounds crazy, but you're a writer, you understand, right? RIGHT?) But I do have characters who I force into Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-2182022986162144902010-02-16T16:43:03.826-05:002010-02-16T16:43:03.826-05:00Oh-- I didn't watch it, unfortunately, I just ...Oh-- I didn't watch it, unfortunately, I just saw it on the shelf and read the back and was like "this sounds soooo good." I'm kind of into biblical stories, myself :) But you never know what you're going to get when people remake the stuff, so I didn't buy it. It was at Target, and I think it was just called Esther.<br /><br />I'll be rooting for Elyzbeth!Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-80524905427398501292010-02-16T16:38:53.145-05:002010-02-16T16:38:53.145-05:00Thanks for your comment on my blog, and I'm so...Thanks for your comment on my blog, and I'm so happy you enjoyed my piece. Which DVD did you just watch? I would love to know. I'm impressed you caught the Hadassah reference. I was trying to be sneaky. ;)<br /><br />I love the story of Esther and thought it would make a great sci-fi fantasy. Of course I will lose a lot of the religious implications, which is sad, but it has so much Charity Bradfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960821077619680661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458380.post-74769742689549019022010-02-16T14:24:56.882-05:002010-02-16T14:24:56.882-05:00I understand totally, Diana!
