Are they starched or not? Buttons or those nasty little hooks? Whalebone or metal? I'm not convinced that Surrender is ever an Option when it comes to underthings.<br /><br />I do agree with Becky, that this could be a very useful way of getting inside a difficult character's head, even outside a physical fight. To know whether or not your character is willing to give ground on even the most pedestrian of issues is important. <br /><br />Honestly, I think I'll run through this when looking back through my Thrilling Climax. Above all, it's a clash of wills. I'm curious to know now if I've set it up for a believable outcome.Jessica Brockmolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333664969192588015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753728670089727264.post-63066772539834733412010-05-02T22:36:33.752-04:002010-05-02T22:36:33.752-04:00Thanks... would love to see JT Brockmole lay this ...Thanks... would love to see JT Brockmole lay this out for her famous fight scene of Evan versus A Roomful of Victorian Underthings!<br /><br />By the way, when I posted this today and explained what I was doing, my son immediately put on his Batman costume and attacked me. I had to pretend I was T.R. and defend myself accordingly. Lots of half-nelsons and the occasional shoulder throw. Bolster pillow served as a 'big stick' once he pulled the Batarang on me.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397530477434680079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1753728670089727264.post-18011750049837046572010-05-02T21:25:19.513-04:002010-05-02T21:25:19.513-04:00Great way to ponder through the character's ac...Great way to ponder through the character's actions in any conflict, not just a physical altercation - you've quite neatly summed up TR's inflection points when dealing with an opponent :)Rebecca A.
