    Such great tweets, Elizabeth! Thanks so much

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 12, 2014

      Thanks for coming by, Julie!

  2. Alex J. CavanaughJanuary 12, 2014

    Architects and gardeners – I bet that refers to planners and pantsers.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 12, 2014

      Alex–You got it! I love the way that Martin put that, too.

  3. Margot KinbergJanuary 12, 2014

    Elizabeth – As always, some excellent links here. I’d never have thought, for instance, of creating a Deaf/hard-of-hearing character but there’s no reason one couldn’t. What a great idea to post about how to do that. Let the session of Writing 101 begin!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 13, 2014

      Margot–I thought it was an interesting post, too…and terrific to have some solid guidelines. :)

  4. Stephen TrempJanuary 12, 2014

    Great article. Especially about working in teams and being rich and dashing and such. My scientists work in groups or other organizations and they aren’t the best lookers. Except one, the female who does the killing. I had to make someone super duper awesome looking.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 13, 2014

      Stephen–I’ve commented before that if someone is pretty or handsome in my books…they will probably end up as a murder victim. :) Ha!
