I've tried character sketches, interviews, charts, etc. in the past, but I found that all of heroines always sounded the same, as did my heroes, LOL. <BR/><BR/>I did a post a while back on my blog about right brain vs. left brain thinking, and honestly (for me, anyway) I think things like character charts are too analytical for my right brain personality, and as soon as I get too Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-24366611227772552262009-02-27T07:54:00.000-08:002009-02-27T07:54:00.000-08:00Sounds like a fun book.

Not only that she has to bake the wedding cake for her ex (ouch) but that you've added such a great paranormal twist. <BR/><BR/>And yay that you don't do character sketches, either. I always feel a bit guilty when I hear how some authors do charts, graphs, interviews, note cards. Yeek.

Though, before the book was ever submitted, I did drastically alter one of the first scenes in the book. It needed to be done, and the book is stronger with the alteration--so all's good!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-6330600626845404152009-02-27T05:00:00.000-08:002009-02-27T05:00:00.000-08:00Good Morning, Tracy.
