10 things your characters are trying to tell you!
1. We don't care if you are the power that can push down the keys and create the words and actions; sometime you need to listen to us and let us lead the way. You gave us the brains and the looks; let us use them!
2. Contrary to what you may believe; once you turn off the light and walk away from the computer, we do not simply lie down and sleep. You have given us life and just because you are tired doesn't mean that we are. Reread when you come back, listen and watch for stray footprints. We may be trying to tug you off in a different direction!
3. It doesn't matter if she is standoffish, acting unimpressed or afraid to trust another living soul; I like her, you like her and together we'll get her to realize it; but it is a joint effort for I now live in your mind and together we can show her it is okay.
4. He isn't the only one snagging the brain coffee! I'm in her too and just because you want the story to go a certain way and he is determined doesn't mean I'm going to make it easy.
5. It's okay if we fight, act witchy or grumpy. Those are the moments that the guards come down and we let out that thing that is really scaring us or admit what we are really feeling.
6. Good fights lead to fun pillow fights, occasional broken pottery, possibly enlightening moments and ultimately, great love scenes.
7. No. She broke my heart once. Broke it badly and I will never, ever trust her again. I mean, granted it is hard when she wears that...that little thing she calls a...whatever, but no, I am so not going there! No, don't make me be in a scene with candles! Do you know what candlelight does to her hair and her...eyes? She'll let me down again, you both will--that's playing dirty having her bring me coffee and that pie she used to make; I have my principles you know! Okay, okay, you win. BUT just not quite yet, wouldn't want her to think I'm too easy now....
8. It's okay if he is stubborn and difficult. He always was and he is so cute when he gets that stubborn set to his chin and his eyes blaze like that but I still need to prove to him that I won't let him down again and things like that take time. So just because you stick us together with my ie and firelight, don't think it will all go great because you want it to; we have our own agenda to work through!.
9. Everyone might say she's from Venus and I'm from Mars but I don't get how that explains why the woman can't just say what she's thinking and why she has to do surgery on me because she doesn't get it and I know I'm being perfectly logical even if she thinks I'm being dense.
10. Suuuure...you finish your book and you are all happy-happy and even if we DID get our happy ending, we are then slammed between the covers (BOOK covers!) and left to moulder without ever getting to do a....gee thanks!nything else...we might as well be figments of your imagination! Gee thanks... |
