Liam said something the other day that got me thinking about motivations in stories. I saw that he'd left his Play-Doh clay out on the table, and I reminded him that if he left it out, it would dry out. He looked at it and informed me that he didn't care. Apparently he always tried to make a gingerbread house, I think it was, and it never worked. So, he didn't care if it dried up. It reminded me that in stories everyone should have a motivation, no matter how small the character (four-year-old boy), no matter how small the motivation (seeing the clay dry up in revenge). And not all motivations need to be obvious. Not quite sure where this is going....so I'm going to end this. My point. Everyone has a motivation. Update on my dad (previous post): According to the doctor, the lymph node just looks about .4 cm larger than usual, but other than that, he says that it looks normal. Could be due to a recent cold that has been going around. His blood levels were perfectly fine, though, and normally when there's cancer, the blood levels are weird. So, thank you all for your prayers!

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
