Regarding the title of the post - I just had to.
Brant is a soldier. I've been working to establish him grasping/fondling the hilt of his sword at times when he's anxious.
Part of my characterization in the book is to establish each character's place in the theme. Brant represents the viewpoint that physical dominance represents power.
Another character, Dylan, represents the viewpoint that money is power. He's a merchant. I'm working on a scene and had this thought: showing Dylan grasping/fondling his coin pouch is a good way to show his anxiety.
Question: Is the similarity between the actions of the two characters troubling to you? On one hand, I'm thinking: c'mon author, think of something original. On the other hand, I like the symmetry of how the opposing viewpoints are represented.
What say you?
Thanks!
