And that's what amazes me in writing. :) Athinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485560779521386981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-69428423959468604402014-08-01T23:09:58.831+03:002014-08-01T23:09:58.831+03:00So have you ever killed a character and then after...So have you ever killed a character and then after a few hours thought "there is no way they would go out like that" and then went back and changed how they died?

I like watching them from time to time, but I get really happy and excited when I watch the other ones. So, I am more realistic. When someone's dead is dead, unless there is a really plausible explanation for him coming back. Then you have my attention!<br /><br />But I agree with you, Robyn! We are crazy. But our craziness is a perk!

I get mad when I lose them. Maybe it's too many hours of soap operas when I was a kid (Days of Our Lives), but a part of me always hopes the character will come back. They always come back in the soaps. I've killed characters that I absolutely loved and then when stories about them surface, that's when I really get emotional even though I'm writing the stuff. <br /><br />If not sad or bawling, do you crack yourself up? There are times when Maggie Lane says something that has me slapping my knee and telling my sister, "Maggie just said this..." I think we're a crazy bunch, Athina. Crazy!<br /><br />Great post, you character snuffer!robgirlbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398614063792587098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903506778843918994.post-20757001396318278822014-07-30T20:11:16.078+03:002014-07-30T20:11:16.078+03:00You're cruel!
