I type their stories, then they can come alive in the minds of the readers. What a marvelous symmetry! Also, once I type "the end" in one book, those characters are usually pretty quiet. But that's when the best friends, or some other side characters, start demanding their stories be told also. I never set out to write a series. But it often happens.<br /><br />I could see "Regency belles" as a name for a line of fashion. Empire-style dresses and tops look good on almost any female body shape.

I savor a story line where it plays out. :) Connie Vineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835205487088200480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-15705518689688860132019-07-20T20:32:41.803-07:002019-07-20T20:32:41.803-07:00Thanks, Dr. Bob.

I will send a complimentary copy to that reader when the book is released as a thank you for putting my little grey cells to work.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-33291022211203148672019-07-20T20:29:09.859-07:002019-07-20T20:29:09.859-07:00And if they do, you don't then have to create ...And if they do, you don't then have to create them up which, I think, leads to much more organic characterization.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-36375019445211417842019-07-20T18:04:36.894-07:002019-07-20T18:04:36.894-07:00I identify with characters demanding to be liberat...I identify with characters demanding to be liberated from head into computer. :) Mine do that all the time.Dr Bob Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905005432340711608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-36699725527575111702019-07-20T11:41:52.570-07:002019-07-20T11:41:52.570-07:00Ideas from readers are great.

Doesn't always happen, but when it does, it is wonderful.
