[Rose in RoseBear]

I don't think I could write a wimpy female character. One way or another, mine always wind up wielding guns and weapons with sharp edges.

Hence, a Marine officer ...

Mine don't always wield weapons per se - though they often do - but writing a demure little girl, or a wimp? Not me.

Of course since at least 50% of my heroines are based on the same "character", and she's a fiery spirit, they do tend to have a lot in common... the one for this NaNo is different, though. She's more talkative for one thing which is why I have to use first person. Her personality just won't work in third.

The male lead is a tall, dark, mysterious type with a cool temperament and l337 skillz. I am gonna love this!
