Something happened and we each reacted to it in a different way. I'd always found our reactions to be indicative of how we each were and to a certain extent, it held true throughout our lives.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-5039211420532632972010-07-30T10:11:04.812+10:002010-07-30T10:11:04.812+10:00Making the characters real is so much fun :) Good ...Making the characters real is so much fun :) Good tips!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-72319826910143568062010-07-30T09:52:31.934+10:002010-07-30T09:52:31.934+10:00When I first started writing all my characters wer...When I first started writing all my characters were beautiful and perfect. lol.
