Maybe we’re just evil (We are minions, after all), but this made us laugh out loud:
This is just one of several episodes in the series. Peer production on a shoestring still tastes delish.

Peggy Bechko: Writers Revealing What Characters Don’t Want To Show
by Peggy Bechko
Oh, come on, you know your characters are just like you. They say one thing and think something else entirely, try to conceal you’re really doing that – and then give it all away with a flick of an eye, a gesture or some muted (or otherwise) sound you make. Yep, that’s reality. Us humans evade, lie and maneuver (just for starters). We do it to protect ourselves, to protect others, out of embarrassment or an assortment of other reasons.
Now, knowing this it becomes a challenge for the writer. In a script for a movie the writer sets the scene, the mood, tweaks details to make things clear and then actors take over to do the subtle little things that portray what’s in the script, the character’s inner monolog.
For novel writers it’s a different kind of challenge.
