The hero in the novella that was just contract stepped right there, full of life, from the beginning. It's not usually quite so easy to get to know someone. <br /><br />And I think I forgot my email in my last comment.

My husband rushed to my rescue only to find I was sobbing about my story. "I didn't know the little boy would be hit by the car," I managed to gasp between sobs. He shook his head and replied, "I don't know if I can handle you being a writer."Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106076315144936177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632882822656478450.post-53636577965065455852011-09-28T21:29:28.853-04:002011-09-28T21:29:28.853-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lou and Louise Barbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736334776871953711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632882822656478450.post-7013197951666290812011-09-28T21:20:44.438-04:002011-09-28T21:20:44.438-04:00Philippa, glad you got into my novella!

They insisted I get inside and try it! <br /><br />Something less adventurous was a story I wrote on a woman who makes home made candy. She gave me a box as a gift. Delicious! <br /><br />I have "Door County" and would like to win the other book. :)<br /><br />Cathy<br /><br />CathyCathy Shousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02825259524689437031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632882822656478450.post-82998716745695759062011-09-28T18:51:06.169-04:002011-09-28T18:51:06.169-04:00I was disappointed in Keturah for falling for Char...I was disappointed in Keturah for falling for Charlie's slick pitch.

Yes, Judy, their backgrounds are about as different as they get! And, Frances, I have yet to create compliant characters--sounds like they're related to yours?

AS far as the relationship goes, it might depend on Keturah's determination to have what's being offered from Charlie--perhaps even giving up her parents way of life. <br /><br />Sounds like a great book. <br />cb<br />browncarole212(at)yahoo(dot)com<br /><br />http://sunnebnkwrtr.blogspot.com/Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765332646987825952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632882822656478450.post-87989097739564472322011-09-28T08:19:54.601-04:002011-09-28T08:19:54.601-04:00As I write, I'm amazed at the way my character...As I write, I'm amazed at the way my characters veer away from my plan for them.
