Maybe a chapter. But they don't have to carry the weight of the story. We get to spend that limited time with them and not have to worry about the whole freakin rest of book.<br /><br />Those scenes are fun, they come easy. <br /><br />It's the main characters carrying the bulk of the weight... some times we get bored with them. I think because they represent so much work.<br /><br />Steph<br /><br />P.S. My IT department blocked "blogs" and all web communications. I had to cry, beg and promise sexual favors to get access back... soooo the posts better be really awesome this week! :) Kidding - they always are!Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-220115314490455672010-06-01T09:21:09.728-04:002010-06-01T09:21:09.728-04:00Sometimes those secondary characters are just so d...Sometimes those secondary characters are just so delicious - I have one now, that I am truly trying to ignore. He's all mystery and cool and he gets to be that way because he's not a main character. He doesn't have to carry the polot or make things work, he can just stand there and stare at people...<br /><br />I don't do many bad guys (see earlier post) but I can understand the allure of writing them.
