But I feel ...I take myself too seriously sometimes. But I feel like that's not a flaw people would appreciate... It's more annoying. Oh no! What about a character whose flaws are just annoying?!?!?!Madelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664470421091752887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744434374112731330.post-18365991701277430632013-11-20T17:04:15.131-07:002013-11-20T17:04:15.131-07:00I read an article recently about a study that gave...I read an article recently about a study that gave evidence that people are more likeable in general when they are open about their flaws. It made total sense. I thought of this one person who was brought into my life through...we'll just say obligation. And I've really struggled with them. After reading that article, I realized it was because this person was the kind of person who doesn't show their flaws or talk about their insecurities. Then they were injured and got all loopy from medication and I sincerely enjoyed their company for the first time ever.<br /><br />I'm not saying I support recreational drug use. What I'm saying is, I agree! And this is such a good point.<br /><br />My flaws...I'm lazy. I tend to cut myself off from the outside world. I'm self-righteous. Flaky. I'm self-conscious and usually assume that people think the worst of me when, in all reality, they're probably too busy thinking about what I think about them. I dream more than I do. And a lot more things, okay?!meg birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078564242720765023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-744434374112731330.post-55014033196278536952013-11-20T16:04:57.624-07:002013-11-20T16:04:57.624-07:00THIS IS IMPORTANT.

This phrase always sounds so so douchey. I'm not a douche I promise). My characters all start out so perfect but then when they get flaws in them, I love them. Before, they are statues and they are boring and solid. <br /><br />My flaws? I fall too quickly. I'm too forgiving and too romantic. I romanticize things that hurt and always walk back into them, even when I know I will be hurt. I have a crippling fear of ending up alone. I fear failure to the point of paralysis. I love too deeply too early. Also my thighs are flaws. So. There's that too.<br /><br />Thank you for continually inspiring the writing bug inside of me.<br /><br />ALSO QUESTION. So, I got a job on my school literary journal and we are looking for submissions of poetry/short little narratives. I love your work and would love to include your work in the magazine. If you'd be interested in this at all, shoot me an email and I can get you some more information :) emma.j.phelps@gmail.com :)<br /><br />Em<br /><a href="http://www.emmajphelps.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tightrope to the Sun</a>Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796214471206750069noreply@blogger.com
