He handed off a painting to an apprentice once, and liked what the apprentice did, so he took it back to finish it : ) Not real sensitive to the feelings of others haha. But he's still one of my heroes.Karen Kyle Ericsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-24691154762408077802011-10-20T08:22:27.318-07:002011-10-20T08:22:27.318-07:00This is an area I hadn't considered in develop...This is an area I hadn't considered in developing characters. Thanks! I think sometimes people have combinations of the different types- like DaVinci was spatial and logical-mathematical. He used to get bored with some of his paintings and hand them off to apprentices, then head out to figure out helicopters or underwater devices : ) I would imagine him to come across like an absent minded professor spending more time in his head than socializing.Karen Kyle Ericsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-56406635963977802452011-10-20T06:51:37.086-07:002011-10-20T06:51:37.086-07:00Our weaknesses define us.

He does a lot of the D&D things and his particular character had a mortal fear of rope. Now most of the time this weakness wasn't a problem, until they were in a cave and had to rappel down to another level. I like the idea of giving our characters more unusual fears or weaknesses. I am currently trying to write a novel where one of the POV characters is mute. That was interesting to write.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13016973541553233943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-24544098006485737602011-10-19T16:03:30.875-07:002011-10-19T16:03:30.875-07:00i think strength theory is def important as it pla...i think strength theory is def important as it plays into who our heroes surround themselves with as well...people that compensate for the weeknesses or those that accentuate the strengthsBrian Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170828505844723150.post-6288763845792512202011-10-19T12:49:57.048-07:002011-10-19T12:49:57.048-07:00I try to play up different strengths and weaknesse...I try to play up different strengths and weaknesses for each of my characters.
