Years ago, I read a book that was supposed to be Sci-Fi/suspense.
Instead, the characters came off as unrealistic and melodramatic, giving them a
cartoonish appearance. Zoe
M. McCarthy deals with the subject of melodrama.

Dave King, at Writer
Unboxed, talks about giving your characters roots. This resonated with me
since I'm a transplant from New York City to Pennsylvania . Check out
this fascinating way to give your story some punch.
3. This news item made me want to
wail and mourn. Christian
Headlines reports on NY city's plans to go forward building the arch of
Baal. In the Old Testament, the nation of Israel brought the judgment of God
down on their heads by worshipping the Baals.
4. Alisa Hope Wagner, at Faith
Imagined, does a verse meditation on 2 Timothy 2:8-9. Though the writer was
in chains, the Word of God is never chained.

There's a chill in the air, and baking cookies is on my mind. I saw this
recipe for Almond Joy Cookies on Facebook. There's only four ingredients.
Here's the original
link to the recipe.
Writers: What are some ways you can inject
conflict/interest in your story by focusing on regional differences? Are there
some instances in your own life that might prove useful? Please share.
Readers: Do you enjoy reading books with an outsider
coming into an area and causing conflict/misunderstanding? Please share an example.
