I could go on for days here, so...Rock on, Courtney. I could go on for days here, so I'll try to be brief for now: I prefer when characters and stories are fully realized and feel real (even in fantasy/sci-fi stories) rather than being cliche and/or having an easy/happy/predictable ending. One of the roles I'm playing on stage right now is quite conflicted and so layered - I love playing this role. Love it. Love it. At first, she seems torn and broken, but then...is she? Is she truthful or not? Is she manipulative and aware of what she did and what she's doing, or is she just acting according to the rules of her experience? Why did she do what she did? I'll stop now, but my point is that I love layered characters, and I love truth, and I love well-told stories.Little Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058463472836988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632611338168133022.post-39565967517729542712010-06-30T13:08:22.492-07:002010-06-30T13:08:22.492-07:00Agreed, Martha!

Both ones I've read have really haunted me--and in a good way.Martha Brockenbroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921299935406060841noreply@blogger.com
