I need to know how things are created, too.<br /><br />*I'm, definitely, fainting later. ;)<br /><br />Hi Anne<br />Isn't it great? It's amazing what you can find on JK's site.<br />I think my biggest lesson learned this year came when I forgot you need more than conversations to make people care about your characters.<br />Did you read the letter for the unfinished wip? I hate them but they don't make me bang my head on the desk any more.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-22489512252186034002010-11-13T18:09:30.781+00:002010-11-13T18:09:30.781+00:00That is absolutely fascinating.

Luckily, JK Rowling started where she did instead of any of these places!
