Gotcha. That's okay. Everyone has their own taste. Sorry thought that you dislike him.

Hey, if you write, you are a writer. Wattpad is not a path I would personally take, but I know it works well for a lot of people. I am currently trying to psych myself into finishing the details on a book I am publishing.

I don't really know how to write a romance story. Even when I mean to write one, it doesn't work out so well. In the first story in the series I am working on, I know one of the main characters is in some sort of romanticish relationship with one of the other characters, but I'm not sure exactly what. One of the main characters is married and gives birth to twins near the end of the book. Another is her dad and his relationship with her mom is kind of really relevant to the plot and all I can say is I'm glad her parents don't spend any time in the same scene, because I don't know how I would handle it. It's hard enough to write her mom's reaction to finding out her dad is still alive as is. I don't think the other MC (who is the antagonist) is in a romantic relationship. I have enough trouble writing her relationship with her three brothers, three very different relationships.

Another story in the series is supposed to be a romance. . . yeah, the two characters spend almost the entire book apart from each other.

I don't tend to complain about the romances on Choices, although I prefer that to be the subgenre rather than the genre. I especially like historical romance something that Choices doesn't really have as the romance aspect of The Crown & the Flame is a little underdeveloped. That series is my second favorite in all of Choices. My favorite, Endless Summer, is probably the best developed when it comes to the romance aspect. I love the way they have relationships set up between the different characters. I love the visibility of it.

Writer's block and I are old enemies. It tries to show up, so I skip ahead. This can help me figure out what was missing in the scene I was having trouble with and then I can go back later and write it. I take crazy detailed notes on everything so that I can keep things consistant. And if they aren't I redo. I have one scene I had three or four versions of, all of which had something in them that I liked, but none of them consistant with the full story, so I took them and combined them, molding them together until I had something that fit. Took me two years, but hey, that thing works now. . . if I only I could get around to finishing the whole thing. It's a fanfic I've been working on for five years now.

I don't much follow soap operas. Mostly I know a little about one of them, because one of the characters has the same, uncommon, name as I do and people like to point it out. . . a lot. I think I have named characters have TV characters, but not any on Choices.

Other than the ex-finace that I named after a guy I used to sort of know, I haven't named anyone after any living people. And the other characters I mentioned from Rules of Engagement that I named after one of my ancestors and her siblings, I don't think any other ones are named after real people. *looks them up* Huh. One of the ones I didn't use is named Carter. What are the odds on that. And apparently William is Elizabeth's son (and I think Francis is Elizabeth's middle name, because I don't see one of those in the family either . . . I did not look them up before naming these characters). And Susan Ann's name doesn't have an "e".

I guess so. I don't use names for association. At least not association with personalities. I try to not associate names with personalities, because I don't believe a name has that much power. Power, yes, absolutely. It's what you are called, but not the power to deturmine your personality. So I'll use names I like for characters I don't and names I don't for characters I do. I have growned to really like the name Hank thanks to this. One would think I would have already, which with Hank McCoy, but nope. Of course, Gambit is my favorite among the X-Men and I really don't know what to do with his first name, so there's that.
