End of the Event

  1. Which hour was most daunting for you?  I think the hours of 1-4 am.
  2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?  I liked  The Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins.
  3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? No not really.
  4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?  I liked that there were less technical glitches getting to the mini-challenges.
  5. How many books did you read?  I read one book and started another.
  6. What were the names of the books you read?  I finished Catching Fire and started Mockingjay.
  7. Which book did you enjoy most?  I  enjoyed Catching Fire.
  8. Which did you enjoy least? I am not that far into Mockingjay to make that decision.
  9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?  I wish I could have heard from you all more.
  10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?  I am likely to participate in the challenge but maybe donate prizes as well.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries?
