Title: A Guide for the Lazy Writer
Review: I find it difficult to believe that any serious writer would feel comfortable using this overly simplistic approach to character development.A character created from a mish-mash of bullet point-ed traits would be very flat...existing merely as a stereotype.And I can't decide whether to be overjoyed or dismayed that librarians are not included (omitted perhaps to leave room for the 'careers' of "kept woman", "corporate wife", or "shadow mom"). Perhaps some "types" of people are already so stereotyped that Dr. Edelstein felt no need for inclusion.Oh yes, and did I mention that use of eyedrops and incense is a sure sign that the character is a marijuana user?Please.
