What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters?
Both are necessary but if I have to choose I think I'm going to go with the characters. If I realy care about the characters I'll keep reading a story with less than fabulous plot.
What did you study in college, or are currently studying and did it lead to your current 9 to 5 or are you doing something totally different?
I got my degree in Elementary Education from BYU. I had my first child 2 weeks after graduating and have been blessed to be a Stay at Home mom for the last 16 years.

I agree with you about the characters, they are very important for me. Got to have someone to root for!
ReplyDeleteI had such a hard time with today's question. I don't think you can have one without the other. But, I agree that characters are what usually keep me reading and why I invest my time in the book.
ReplyDeleteHi old follower, stopping by to say Happy Holidays. I'm torn love a good plot but characters that grab me gets me too. for example love sarcastic sense of humor.

I agree as well that both are extremely important to the novel. Although I do place plot first with characters at a tight second!
