About This Author

I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Re: Discussion Question 2

Aye, as the others say, everyone has flaws and everyone has fears, so a realistic character must have both.

The flaws and fears of my characters differ, but I sure do find it easier to write about them when I have some experience in what they feel like. For example, one of my characters in the current class is shy and socially awkward and I have a lot of experience with that. He's in a tricky situation, though, being a world champion in a sport that attracts a lot of media attention. There are cameras everywhere. So, it's a case of imagining the impact of such an environment.
