(I posted a blog about it.) It was absolutely horrible. Limitations and expected boundaries seemed to be all that anybody thought about. <br /><br />As writers shouldn't we explore everything and anything that our minds can think of?Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794985304159234668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-66235367312038302992010-03-25T00:07:02.133-07:002010-03-25T00:07:02.133-07:00Jannine, I agree.

Personally, I enjoy reading about characters who are real--who have flaws and insecurities--and relationships where maybe the protagonists have to put in some effort to make it work. Because that's the way love is in real life--and that makes it all the more worthwhile!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-51192781292613736802010-03-23T02:35:24.200-07:002010-03-23T02:35:24.200-07:00H Angela,

One of my favorite writers wrote a book where the guy was just a jerk. I really didn't like the way he treated the heorine. But, when I re-read the book later, I realized he was acting the way he was because in his mind, the marriage was only temporary (but, uh, excuse, you can't marry a Queen and expect a divorce) and he was trying to protect his heart. <br /><br />Still overly jerkish men turn me off. I definitely write Beta men. My attempts at Alpha turn out badly.<br /><br />Sounds like a great story. Happy aales.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-4650531159179680772010-03-22T17:44:13.878-07:002010-03-22T17:44:13.878-07:00Opposites Attract might be your characters' mo...Opposites Attract might be your characters' motto.

It does have a positive impact on one's life. <br /><br />I'll never forget when my daughters were in high school (they're in their 30s now), they'd tell me that they were the only ones among their friends who didn't have divorced parents. The times are so different now.
