Characters and Promises
As part of Lesson 2, I need to evaluate my characters to make sure they’re being all they can be. I was thinking no big deal, I only have two characters. Piece of cake.
Um. No. I have two point of view characters. I think I found all the others, and I have 30 named characters in this book. There’s all the bears Inuit visits on her acclimatization tour. There’s the people who helped get her started and keep her going. There’s the cubs. Now, many of these characters are very minor characters — one has one line in a walk on part to help Cube get settled into the Detroit Zoo.
I can’t wait to start identifying all the promises I made. Oh, and how many of the Essentials did I blow? Looking forward to finding that, too.
