Blog Hop (09) & Follow Friday (10)

Book Blogger Hop
The Book Blogger Hop is a meme sponsored by Jennifer at Crazy For Books.

This week's question is:
"What do you consider the most important in a story: the plot or the characters? "
This is a difficult question. When I choose a book to read, it's because of the plot but if I start reading it and the characters aren't dynamic and well developed I quickly lose interest. If you have a great plot and horrible characters, the story will flop. The same will happen if you have amazing characters and a poor plot so both are very important.





HI! Welcome to my blog! I am participating in Follow Friday hosted by Parajunkee's View.
Hop on please leave comment, link your blog, and follow, and I will follow you as well.
This week's question is: 
 
"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'm still studying! I studied International Relations and right now I'm working on my Master's Degree in Strategy.

  2. That sounds great! I wish I had some awesome goals like that, but I'm still trying to figure out what it is I'm good at. Maybe I'll go to college again someday. I'm a new follower! My hop is at Coffee Table Press

  3. Old follower hopping by :)

    I'm a lot more forgiving about a mediocre plot as long as the characters are good.

    Best wishes with your degree. Strategy sounds interesting. Hope you have a nice weekend!

  5. Thank-you for visiting my blog! Plot and characters really do go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other :).

  6. Thanks for hopping by my blog. I decided to do the same for you. :D

    Our responses sound a little bit similar. I wonder if anyone actually picked plot or character. I guess I'll find out as I do some more hopping.

  9. That's so cool what you're studying for post-grad...I don't think I'm familiar with the field of Strategy. Is this in the context of IR and politics? Or something more mathematical/design-like (I'm thinking topography or urban planning). Tis intriguing!!!!

    It's in the context of IR, which is the field I gratuated in. It's related to military strategy and also corporate strategy.
