User blog comment:Zanzan28/How to Lose a Character/@comment-1850797-20120820142936

This was an excellent blog! One thing that I did to help me get over James's death is that I wrote a short story about Joseph burying him. Every character death leaves ripples. Joseph's grief is twisted because James was a lunatic, and Krysalis would have never attempted to kill herself if she hadn't killed him. So before you kill off your character, think about the ripples the act will leave behind.
