I totally agree that giving characters this very human trait makes them more real.

But then everyone tells me I'm crazy so maybe now I don't have anything left to fear. :OLinda Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07290703660068761055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-31759312815953117392010-05-27T17:08:02.207-05:002010-05-27T17:08:02.207-05:00Great post!

I'm thinking I should go add in fears for me characters now. <br /><br />As for my own fears, I do sometimes face them head on, but others I run screaming in the opposite direction.Lexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897165800930936073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090034241516458003.post-26128609865960329782010-05-27T12:24:03.325-05:002010-05-27T12:24:03.325-05:00When I was young, I worried a lot about weird thin...When I was young, I worried a lot about weird things, like someone stealing my brother or the two of us being separated from our parents. I mean, really worried about this. I don't know why, because I had the most loving, wonderful parents. The bad thing is I never shared these fears with them, the very ones who could have helped me, because I loved them so much I didn't want to worry them. Weird!<br /><br />I've overcome my fears now, somewhat. I still worry about my kids. Sometimes I lie in bed at night and think that I shouldn't have let my daughter ride her bike around the block alone with all the crazies out there, or that I shouldn't have let my son go here or there. All my fears are about losing someone. Well, I do have a thing about heights. They make me feel sick.<br /><br />Thanks for the post. Dangerous Highlander sounds wonderful. I love his name. The hero in my debut Scottish Paranormal which comes out next year is Faelan, but I'd never heard of Fallon. Wonderful name.

My mom made me think that you were dirty if you had them. (my apartment landlords didn't like me when someone moved out beside me and I saw one of those critters. They had to come out and spray, normally twice because of my paranoia!)<br /><br />thanks for sharing yourself and your book with us!!Tami Winbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16582827296870344522noreply@blogger.com
