I did a post on characterizatin not too long ago and found some really cool sites to aid in the development of 'people.' Just thought I'd share with you... &lt;BR/&gt;http://nienkehinton.blogspot.com&lt;BR/&gt;/2006/08/using-psychology-to-create&lt;BR/&gt;-characters.html&lt;BR/&gt;I think when we discover the weakness in our 'people' we also discover their deepest needs and desires that motivate all they do. Good luck. Share with us what more you discover on characterization!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12463487/115687225422419283/comments/default/115694336812633980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12463487/115687225422419283/comments/default/115694336812633980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shannonmckelden.blogspot.com/2006/08/discussing-characters-as-people.html?showComment=1156943340000#c115694336812633980' title=''/><author><name>Nienke</name><uri>http://nienkehinton.blogspot.com</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://shannonmckelden.blogspot.com/2006/08/discussing-characters-as-people.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12463487.post-115687225422419283' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12463487/posts/default/115687225422419283' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
