Agree with everyone who thinks your heroine is lovely.

I think it’s really unfair of an editor to give a specific timeframe and then miss it … by weeks. I know they are busy people, but it must be so frustrating for you.

You’re doing really well getting on with your ms while waiting. I really hope you hear soon.

Yeah, that’s true, she was more insecure wasn’t she? I’d forgotten! Lol re the word count! 🙂

Welcome back from your ‘strike’ during which I bet your wordcount was still higher than mine!

Maisey – yay! Thanks hun! Good to know others like her too. Maybe I’m worrying over nothing.

Argh, I don’t know. I think it’s one of those ‘sub it and see’ jobs.

Rach – love ya, you know that? Lol! I’m SO glad you like her. Cos I do too. I think that’s why I’m second guessing her, because I like her so much. Don’t think I’ve ever had that with a heroine!

I found her absolutely lovely and have every faith that as you continue to write her story, you can pull it off!!

I loved what my ed said to me today. A heroine can be good at her job and a 21st century woman while still having insecurities about the way she looks, or be unsure in certain situations or carry baggage from her past. That’s something we can all relate to. She isn’t entirely strong, with no weaknesses at all, neither is she totally weak. And when I’m perfect at character development, I’ll let you know…
