And thanks to...Hi everyone :) thanks for coming by! And thanks to Eleni for inviting me.<br /><br />Kylie: I think it's mostly the heroine's story I start out wanting to tell. But because I'm writing a strong romance thread, the hero has to be an equally strong and interesting character. So I have to invent him to match her. A relationship where one character is clearly superior, or in every way more powerful, doesn't interest me as much. I like them to discombobulate each other equally :)<br /><br />Eleni: thanks! glad you enjoyed it. And it is a bit insane... but insane is good, right?<br /><br />Nicky: oh, yes. I'd forgotten your other half was a B7 fan :) and he's totally right. The build-up is slow, but fascinating. And nerve-wrenching. I still watch it yelling 'no! Don't go there! Don't say that! Don't do that!'<br /><br />Tracey: Thanks! I'm all in favour of marathons. Especially when I'm meant to be doing something else...Erica Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450003467988908406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-59375503057312781982011-04-30T23:35:45.658+10:002011-04-30T23:35:45.658+10:00Okay - I loved B7 but can't remember the end -...Okay - I loved B7 but can't remember the end - I feel a marathon coming when I have finsihed this book. <br /><br />I also loved your description of Shadowfae - it's perfect.

A part of me wishes I could do it more thoroughly (though in that way true madness lies). I'll have to stick to mud maps.<br /><br />I live with someone who would tell you that That Scene in B7 is worth watching the ENTIRE series for. I've yet to watch much of it - Sam,who I'll share with you ;)(if Cas is around Sam's yours) must have airtime in the house.Nicky Stricklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100466566497102697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871421659562888277.post-10381338539773296932011-04-30T12:04:57.301+10:002011-04-30T12:04:57.301+10:00I love your description of Shadowfae, Erica - dirt...I love your description of Shadowfae, Erica - dirty, sparkly, and a little insane.

Our (writers') brains are all wired differently and never the twain shall meet, eh?<br /><br />When you write is it the hero or heroine you tend to know first? Do you have one character whose story it tends to be or is it both? Or does it depend on each book?Kylie Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00469214884337936604noreply@blogger.com
