The thinking part sometimes steals all the heart out of them, and for me as a reader and writer, that's my favorite part of characters.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-80936228941063023362013-10-23T09:53:55.945-04:002013-10-23T09:53:55.945-04:00I love this idea of a controlling belief.
