Hi, Brody,

Thanks for posting. It’s always great to hear from a young fellow-writer, since I was one of those a long time ago! Your story sounds well thought-out. Enjoy it as you bring it to life.

The best way to enhance your character’s thoughts and feelings is to put yourself into the character and “be” him for a while. It helps you understand what he’s feeling, and even the background in his life that brought him to the decisions he’s making now. It usually works for me, and it certainly can’t hurt to get close to the people you write about.

Very best of luck in your writing projects, Brody. And say hi to your Mom. I visit Texas a lot, and will probably meet her again on the circuit.
