And I think Donna's right too; I don't know what it's like to married to a powerful, billionaire CEO but I bet I could imagine it just fine. ;)Marnee Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533816213473440342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807276960105744379.post-24547287287839032572011-08-12T14:57:11.586-04:002011-08-12T14:57:11.586-04:00I have a girl but I wrote a boy in my first MS. My...I have a girl but I wrote a boy in my first MS. My beta readers all pointed out I was writing a 12yr old who sounded 6. LOL! Why I picked a boy instead of a girl, I don't know. <br /><br />Such a fun scene. The curiosity is too much for him, which is so true to life. I can't take gore or bathroom humor. So thankful I do have a girl. <br /><br />I think Donna is right. I haven't found my own HEA but I hope that's not required to actually write one. :)Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807276960105744379.post-3872093744799818982011-08-11T17:45:25.761-04:002011-08-11T17:45:25.761-04:00Thanks Janga! :)

I think because they suffer the fate of so many other secondary characters; they're used for a plot device and not developed completely.<br /><br />And thanks about the new blog smell! *dusts off the header* It's tough keeping it clean though, ya know?<br /><br />Donna - I completely agree about the emotional experiences. Because that's what people read for anyway, isn't it? We're looking to connect. Most details about "real life" can be found in books or research elsewhere. But emotion is the key.Marnee Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533816213473440342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807276960105744379.post-15287450822537359392011-08-11T10:06:21.985-04:002011-08-11T10:06:21.985-04:00That was delightful. :)

I may not have experienced certain things in life, but I have experienced an emotion (pain, joy, etc.) that would be attached to that situation. And it doesn't hurt to be observers of everything too. :)<br /><br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807276960105744379.post-83775853515232658732011-08-11T09:53:42.406-04:002011-08-11T09:53:42.406-04:00*LOL* Yes, that sounds EXACTLY like a little boy. ...*LOL* Yes, that sounds EXACTLY like a little boy. *LOL* That is where real life does pay. Some children in novels are a little too perfect, too perceptive. Sure kids pick up on things and know them, but most of them don't talk to you like your therapist. <br /><br />Love the new blog smell, Marn!Hellie Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933713255844695337noreply@blogger.com
