An exercise I have not repeated, but yet it gave me a lot of insight into the world I was creating and an eventual understanding of the main characters.Windy Aphayrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274305159511812518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248193231958936629.post-57203495170721326432010-09-22T21:29:11.803+10:002010-09-22T21:29:11.803+10:00Totally agree - I've been teaching for years, ...Totally agree - I've been teaching for years, and I've never run across anyone who wasn't incredibly complicated!
