Both Bob Mayer and Michael Hauge said many brilliant things this past weekend. Fortunately, I wrote them all down and I'll be able to work my way through them all.
The biggest lesson I got, though, really threw me for a loop.
You've got to go where the fear is, both your characters and yourself.
As the old saying goes, "If you have a character who is afraid of water, she'd better be in the ocean by Act Two."
As an author, I'm afraid of revealing too much of myself to my readers. Where does the line fall between pulling in real emotion and oversharing?
That scares me.
I guess that means I'd better go there.
