I love to give them at least one "rock"... someone who has an "You're great!" for every single "I'm worthless."Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00950934503254500613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-25986631960925315892011-04-19T06:44:20.724-06:002011-04-19T06:44:20.724-06:00I think you just described every writer I know (in...I think you just described every writer I know (including myself).

I think it is so important to look at the stories we have read and look at the characters and their traits/schemas to see how we can use them in our own stories.

In the beginning of the first book he compares himself to all of those around him and sees that he has a lot lacking when it comes to attention span and normality in his life. It isn't until her learns more about himself and his past that he starts to feel like he belongs somewhere. Even after he gets to the camp he feels isolated from the other campers because of his parentage. Eventually it all works out but you can really feel his isolation.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016973541553233943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9014610743273803857.post-79017649692022623052011-04-18T07:15:06.075-06:002011-04-18T07:15:06.075-06:00Wasn't sure if you were describing characters ...Wasn't sure if you were describing characters or writers.
