I hate to admit it but I ha...Well, goodness, Taryn. I hate to admit it but I haven't seen any of the movies you listed. And I was nearly to the end of the post before I placed them and it clicked. I remember seeing the ad on tv recently. Isn't Medea the character of a middle-aged woman played by a man?<BR/><BR/>Writing something that touches the heart and soul of the reader is the goal of most writers (I think). So we keep plugging. If you can write something that wrenches that kind of emotion from deep within yourself, then I think you're on the right track. But isn't it awful when you can't seem to get inside a character's head or heart and it all comes out as surface stuff? That's the problem I'm facing right now. I blame it on all the distraction around me. I used to write late into the wee hours for that reason--no distractions at all. But these days, by the time everyone's tucked in, I'm exhausted and pretty much brain dead. Getting older is not fun. ;o)Devon Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147639030654251761noreply@blogger.com
