Writing Instructions

Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer of the Don't Look Down fame, are posting "He Wrote, She Wrote" writing lessons at Crusie Mayer Writing Workshop.

They have a monthly outline, rebuttal and answers to comments. Great stuff really. Then you realize that Jenny is a pantser and Bob's an outliner.

I'm so in love with this site.

If you want to know who Ficelles, Foils, Mentors, Threshold Guardians, aka Speed Bumps, and Minions are (hint, they're a function, not a character type) check out Jenny's post, SHE WROTE BACK: Character Types & Functions.

And, of course, Bob's post too, about character types. It's a great conversation.
