Lisa - I swear I will share the cover as soon as my hands are untied! <br /><br />Sam - So right about the Simpsons, I thought the lack of involvement by those vital SCs really sunk the movie!Andrea Cremerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326332737401772239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-78101658840896244732009-11-19T21:40:07.213-06:002009-11-19T21:40:07.213-06:00Completely agree that Harry Potter's rich, vib...Completely agree that Harry Potter's rich, vibrant SCs are an integral part of its success - but pop culture's undisputed king of supporting characters is The Simpsons. The SCs are so prominent that the show could easily be retitled The Simpsons and Moe and Apu and Ned and Patty and Selma and... etc etc.Sam Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686238101419407374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320387264034521574.post-39836464959048153312009-11-19T11:23:56.957-06:002009-11-19T11:23:56.957-06:00Just catching up on my blog reading after a crazy ...Just catching up on my blog reading after a crazy week. After all, my amazing crit partner sent me her awesome sequel this week! Editor waiting on revisions, but I can't keep my nose out of your book. ;)<br /><br />You've so hit the nail on the head. No matter how invested in a MC you are, if the SCs are flat, the book seems boring. Neglecting to fully develop SCs is one of the biggest mistakes writers make.<br /><br />BTW--you're such a tease! I need to see your cover art.
