It is tough, but eventually will be worth it!Catherine Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075571140881352399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37564802.post-77950851596916920392010-05-25T10:23:41.572-07:002010-05-25T10:23:41.572-07:00Sounds like we have a common problem - my heroines...Sounds like we have a common problem - my heroines are harder to flesh out as well. Sometimes it takes me a long time to really get to know my leading lady. <br /><br />I do as you've done in your post - ask twenty questions. Lead off into more questions depending on the answers. And keep pounding at it until I know enough to write. <br /><br />I used to wait and just let things unfold, but now I'm insisting on knowing the MC's before I start writing. Makes for less mistakes later. :-) <br /><br />As for me, I am a writer, working on a rewrite and a revision. I'm also a reader...with very eclectic tastes. My fave. color is green, I love dogs, and magnolias are beautiful, but it's too cold to grow them here.

I feel like my hero is all figured out. He knows what he wants, he knows how he's going to get it and he's been very forthcoming with both those topics. My heroine, however, is still discovering who she really is and I've only seemed to wriggle her past out of her. She's passionate about creating her own identity but I'm still discovering what that looks like.Cindy R. Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488732331021750408noreply@blogger.com
