Sometimes I think the characters shake their heads at us authors and think, "What a complete ass, he is." :)Brian Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547208018232793140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503899689333306930.post-56801256599475487922011-03-31T04:40:47.289-07:002011-03-31T04:40:47.289-07:00Thats fascinating Brian - I suspect the characters...Thats fascinating Brian - I suspect the characters know where they are going and are waiting for you to catch up!Hermeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968366076064269729noreply@blogger.com
