But... He pushes people away. <br /><br />Another protagonist in the Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-64559192893230578032010-09-01T15:44:10.541-06:002010-09-01T15:44:10.541-06:00I love this post.

So far she's gone everything from medieval, twenties, nineties, modern day, and into the future and nothing is really sticking. She may get sent back to limbo if I can't find a place for her to be.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-39352656751985344502010-09-01T13:19:03.670-06:002010-09-01T13:19:03.670-06:00Well said, Cassandra.

So while the orginal story idea surrounding them was total crap, I still had great characters who just needed a new venue. And they got it!Alex J.

In fact I know these characters so well that sometimes I think the challenge is remaining objective enough about the work.<br />I love my characters, yes. But will everybody else?LRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839870925431989156noreply@blogger.com
