Such as, my daughter at school is very quiet. But in her home "system" she is the outgoing family clown. Completely different personality based on the system she is in.aprilhoythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992485192426728917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-25288978728603069552012-02-23T04:09:20.866-07:002012-02-23T04:09:20.866-07:00As a reader I have seen what you are talking about...As a reader I have seen what you are talking about in books. I think Taracy Chevalier (I may have spelt is wrong) does this follow up brilliantly, or at least in the one book I read (the girl with the pearl earrings). That sold me t her as a writer. Nothing more irritating that finding yourself asking why did she say that or let it happen of it wasn't going to lead anywhere. There a a lot of writers who leave unfinished business unfortunately as a result of not following through on the cause and effect.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530886181437955643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-53310858108996310222012-02-22T20:40:24.820-07:002012-02-22T20:40:24.820-07:00The school system is one where there's a lot o...The school system is one where there's a lot of interaction from many different groups, and also one anyone writing for MG/YA will have to deal with.

You could have a lot of fun and even make it the butterfly effect. One action that changes the course of the world. The possibilities are endless, aren't they.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016973541553233943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-91873509393733141252012-02-22T09:28:44.351-07:002012-02-22T09:28:44.351-07:00nice...def good to incorporate the ripple effect t...nice...def good to incorporate the ripple effect that the characters actions have on different parts of thier lives...adds to the realismBrian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
