I don’t want to go back through all those posts, so I’ll take your word for it.
Actually, he looks a bit like my hubby, SirKit. ;o)
Heh...that’s okay. Stick around.
I have a 7-year-old, I’ll likely go through all of this again. ;-)
Heh, he’s gonna be a tough one, you know!
LOL, a ‘difficult’ child?
See 5616.
That boy is just wayyyy too smart. You’re gonna have to watch that he doesn’t end up in trouble just on account of being bored... ;-)
I had lunch with my hubby so I’m in an awfully good mood. Oddly enough, I just couldn’t care one way or the other on the Dumbledore thing. Probably because as a writer I know things about my characters that are important to them as characters that would make them lousy humans. But good humans are boring to write about.
I guess I’m wrong. For instances, who would want to read a book with characters like a guy who has so much of a problem with lust, that his dozens of wives aren’t enough and he has to commit adultery and then kill the other guy for the woman? Or a chick who sleeps with her father in law in order to get pregnant? Or some guy who instigates murders and then holds coats for the actual killers while looking on approvingly? Nobody like that could possibly be heroic or righteous, right?
Yeah, Mrs. has a conference set with the teacher next week. We’re not sure how much longer we’ll be able to do school like this.
Time for a smoke?
;-)
*snort*
We went to a nice Mexican restaurant and ate fajitas. And plotted stories. I discovered many of my plot problems disappear if the heroine’s True Love has an evil bastard half-brother.
It’s the kilt that does it. Put him in a poet shirt and he’ll look just as fluffy.
Heck, all they have to do is read the newspaper if they want that kind of crap. Happens every day.
Then there are poetry quoting guys who are still as manly as anything...
Witness Sean Bean in Equilibrium. Nice.
That’s why I don’t read it.
Hear hear. I’ll take happy fiction any day.
You guys *do* realize what book she’s referring to, don’t you?
