In reply to Dave. Dave, I am so glad you found us when you needed to. Becca and I both believe the universe works in mysterious ways, and there are many times when serendipity has really played a part in our path! I've learned to pay more attention to things that come along for this reason. :)

I just finished writing a post on my blog this past week about listening to the universe and allowing it to convey the message you most needed to hear right now. Funny thing is, this particular post did that – but, even more so, stumbling upon “Writers Helping Writers” was an even more serendipitous discovery.

The way that you provide information sends my creative mind off on tangents that I always encourage it to take, uncovering and considering so many different avenues to take with character and plot development. Thank so much for sharing!

In reply to Claudia. This is a great point that I hadn't thought of. I'll add it :).

Thank you for creating this fantastic new thesaurus. It is very helpful because as Dian said, it adds elements you wouldn’t have thought of.

I’m reading Eva Ibbotson’s “The Secret of Platform” 13 right now. Mrs Trottle fulfills her goal of having a baby by stealing someone else’s child. So I’m wondering if adding the illegal component to the list would be a good idea because it opens up possibilities for other genres.

I will forever be astounded with how open your minds are to brainstorm such a wide variety of info and possibilities. Just amazing! 😀

I totally agree with you on this element of character. Having an achievable goal is important. I was struggling with this myself, and greatly appreciate what you have here. You broke it down into more elements than I realized there actually were, which is helpful!
