    As always, Elizabeth, these are great links! Thank you. Lots this week about developing characters and their viewpoints. I think that’s one thing I’ve had to learn to do – go back and make my characters fuller.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigApril 26, 2015

      Margot–You’re right…some good tips for doing that this week.
