Then get the books out for editing. <br /><br />I can never be sure of the difference between the two, not when writing or reading. I just try to enjoy the both.Rhihttp://scruffy-duck.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432369812224075656.post-30006988357700275752011-05-19T04:18:57.929+01:002011-05-19T04:18:57.929+01:00It sounds like the characters are the predominant ...It sounds like the characters are the predominant aspect of you stories (which I applauded because there is nothing better than when a character follows a person through all their days), but it also sounds like your letting your left brain think too hard about it ( maybe). I say write until you get to the end. If you've devoured all those craft books you'll know that if the characters have made some sort of transformation by the end of the story, they will have had to go through 'things'… and there you have it, a story. I think it works like that..brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480258485472568272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432369812224075656.post-67987808627724624102011-05-18T23:25:00.433+01:002011-05-18T23:25:00.433+01:00Sounds like you're on the right track.

I've always though that for a good story the rule is to make the reader like the character then make the character get in trouble and then get them out of trouble. I think that's it in a nutshell. Is that character driven or plot driven? I think it's both.
