I wrote a skeleton draft, so my characters--mostly my villain--have some explaining to do. And considering the nature of this story, Dumb Puppet is probably gonna be my go-to, so I'll need to be careful to make sure I don't overuse it.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post!<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.com<br />verbosityreviews.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-7295965428664601952016-07-30T19:04:19.577-05:002016-07-30T19:04:19.577-05:00This post is super helpful since some of the chara...This post is super helpful since some of the characters in my current WIP have important backstory that I need to share. I used a flashback for it. That seems to be my automatic backstory device. In one of my other WIPs there is a character with amnesia so he was a dumb puppet a lot.<br />Also, whenever I have a big reveal I always get impatient to finally share it. I really need to be patient and wait for the right moment.

I find myself using exposition more than I should, I think there are some places where I could use the dumb puppet trick though, and other things I just need to show.

I'll have to find some way of fitting it into a scene. :)<br /><br />Oh, and were the blog contributors supposed to have gotten the email yet?

I totally understand what you were saying about repetition and having a character tell another about their journey.
