This is serious.<br /><br />So I think some people are reacting to that initial shift but I think most are saying... WOW... I'm in.<br /><br />Then you just hold on for the ride.Stephanie Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448686465587131952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-31968321165384060782012-06-29T12:48:54.364-04:002012-06-29T12:48:54.364-04:00Hear, hear!Hear, hear!Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-46983784647712060132012-06-29T11:53:21.403-04:002012-06-29T11:53:21.403-04:00Very interesting!

Go figure!<br /><br />I have to say that I almost gave up on the book I'm reading now - I thought the heroine was too dumb in the beginning. But she has grown into quite a character and I'm really enjoying the book now.<br /><br />So, sad to say, I find myself guilty of the same thing - even though I know the character is wonky at first because the whole point is to have her change and grow.<br /><br />Sometimes I think we're all too hard on books and writers - but reading is so personal. We often have passionate outbursts about our likes and dislikes. <br /><br />As writers, we can only write for our "right reader."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
