Referring to your comment above, I feel that your writing has improved in that your characterizations are more real -- to be blunt (like I would be anything else) I agree with you that your previous Jack was too wibbly, and I also felt he was too into talking about his feelings. (This is not too say that contradictions wasn't a great story, it was). I feel that you have pretty much nailed him and Will now, and I have to say that I have been so anxious for you to continue writing your current story because you just keep developing as a writer. How have you developed your skill at characterization re: Jack and Will? What lets you know that a character is behaving 1) In a fashion consistent with canon 2) In a manner befitting the historical time period 3) In a way that is true to the way real people act in relationships? 4) The way a person would, period?
Er, you don't have to write me an essay, I was just trying to organize my thoughts for once ;).
