I simply love this series of books and the latest, The Busy Writer's One Hour Character, doesn't disappoint. I read somewhere that the creators of the TV series The West Wing intended the stories to focus on the character of the president's script writer, Sam Seaborn, but, before they knew where they were, the other characters had evolved so strongly, that poor old Sam got somewhat sidelined and Rob Lowe, the actor who played him, was rather miffed. Unlike TV script writers, we novelists can't afford the luxury of wandering off at a tangent and getting away with it. As Marg McAlister points out in The Busy Writer's One Hour Character, it is important to know our characters - especially our main character/s. I've tried the other Busy Writer's One Hour systems and they work! I'll certainly be giving this one a go. The books not only instruct, they inspire.
