I'm...Wow -- I really needed to read this right now! I'm in the middle of editing, and keep going back to something that's bothering me about my heroine. And I was just telling my crit partner, "She's just not interesting enough." She has the basic GMC, but nothing even remotely resembling the intrigue that my real-life friends have. (My hero, on the other hand, I love.) I wonder why I keep watering down my heroines? It's almost as if I know women are SO interesting that I assume the reader is going to fill that in? (i.e., of course women are amazing!) Silly. I think I have to go back and work on this very same thing, Sinead. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not the only one!<br /><br />Btw, Jenny Crusie is one of my all-time faves!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-13902378960763918452009-05-09T08:23:00.000-04:002009-05-09T08:23:00.000-04:00Jennifer Crusie is amazing...

I've just discove...Interesting - you may be right.<br /><br />I've just discovered Jennifer Crusie and I love her characters. Her best characters, to me, were in Bet Me - Min and Cal - the best I've read in a long time.<br /><br />Funny, I also quoted Jennifer Crusie on my blog today. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-10355480497332631722009-05-08T16:14:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:14:00.000-04:00WOW.

I thi...WOW. What a fabulous post, Sinead. Awesome.<br /><br />I think you're dead right, too, that particularly in contemporary romance the heroines need to be memorable, interesting and strong. In some other sub-genres, they're basically place-holders.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.com
