I spent all day on this website yesterday I love it. It seriously has so much information. This is a direct link to Writing Nuts and Bolts, few different people helped create this. http://www.fictionfactor.com/bolts.html

More on character building http://www.novel-writing-help.com/creating-a-character.html

Behind you!
Um, I don't like to complain (Oh yeah? Then why do I do it so often?) but when you copy and paste from word processing, your font size overrides our default Verdana 3, rendering it unreadable to old eyes like mine.

To change it, click on Edit, select all, and put in a larger size.

Im going to post my editing notes. These are litteraly notes ...

My eyes! My eyes! I'm blind!

I think a little editing is in order. No matter how important or interesting your notes might be, it's very hard to read them when presented in that format, or rather, lack of formatting.

An idea: put them up, all organized with headers and such, on a free blog site and post a link. There may well be useful stuff in there, but it's hard to tell right now.

Thank you in advance.

Also? Don't violate other people's intellectual property. Ever. But especially not in a writers forum. Post a link, but don't post an entire article unless you have permission to do so from the holder of the copyright.
