Why, you may ask?
Some of the articles that I've posted on Backpack seem a little corny or lean towards 'self-help', but in all that I've posted I've found things that will be really helpful towards developing the characters in this show for a number of reasons: you can use facts to back what you say up and to have a deeper understanding of certain disorders, words, and ideas; you can create a background to your character: example: some articles talk about how in many cases those with eating disorders have had abusive childhoods--this is a piece of information that can help create your characters story bringing more depth to the overall piece. So I just encourage everyone to actually read the articles because all it usually takes is one line or paragraph to really push you along on your development of your character!

Thanks Nicole,
Could you start posting your links here on the blog, so we have everything more centrally and publically located?
thanks!

Nicole, is there any way you can list the files here (or link to them from Backpack?).
You can also use the blogroll feature we have(see the Fear/Falling main menu "Edit my Blogroll" to link to any files.
To upload files in Movable Type, see the left-hand and select "Upload File".
