I am very proud of Sam and have such fun when we chat about the writing process. <br /><br />Despite our best-laid plans, characters take on lives of their own and we are best served when we follow their directions :-)The Stiletto Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667670723330755598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-71210297214725171072012-08-06T10:51:27.165-04:002012-08-06T10:51:27.165-04:00Marian, kudos to your son, Sam, for his fine sport...Marian, kudos to your son, Sam, for his fine sports journalism! I know that has to warm your heart to see your son succeeding in another area of your own profession.<br /><br />I had to laugh when reading about your murderer who turned into someone you liked so much that you had to make someone else the murderer. That's happened to me twice now. The first time, the character is a bad guy of sorts, but with redeeming qualities and not a murderer. The second time, almost halfway through the book, I decided this person couldn't be the killer, went back and developed another, better killer, went back and redeveloped the first character the way that person wanted to go, and that character became one of the good guys. We're just these characters' emanuensis, it seems. :-)Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-48424614620475651642012-08-06T08:00:06.150-04:002012-08-06T08:00:06.150-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922758516478496132noreply@blogger.com
