Wanna See
My Happy, Smiling face when I met Irritable Mother Karen Hossink? Click HERE, scroll down. I'm the skinny one with the goofy smile and long hair. LOL
I second everything she said. :-)

No One's Perfect
We all have flaws, but our characters especially should have some, because what fun is there in reading about someone's perfect life? *grin* Since our MC's have a defining virtue, should they also have a defining weakness? What if their weakness is what causes some of the main conflict in the story? What if the weakness is in direct opposition to the MC's virtue? The characters must have something to struggle against, a temptation or a sin, as well as an outer conflict. What's your MC's biggest weakness? How does it define him or her? Does it propell the story? Do your characters ever fight the same kind of vices you do? After reading the Seekerville post on Moral Premise, I signed up for Natasha Kern's ACFW conference class, Vice and Virtue. Wondering what she'll talk about is turning the wheels in my head and give me some blog fodder.

Wow, you two sure have straight, white teeth. Did you wear braces, by any chance? I'm going through the last set with my youngest as we speak. My daughter wore them, too.
They inherited the crooked teeth gene from their daddy. Heehee
Have a great day!
I did wear braces (thank you mother!)
But... i thought you had 3 kiddos...

I do have three. :-) I think she forgot or was tired. It was fun, and thanks for saying I deserved the compliments. :-)
That's true. I get so used to profile pics that when I see real people I'm like, whoa. Almost don't recognize them sometimes.
It's def. a blessing. I hope I meet you and Kathryn sometime, just to hear your cajun accents! LOL
You both look great in the picture! Wouldn't it be fun if we could all meet? Ah, maybe someday at a writers conference.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Anyway, I just fixed it - now you are officially creditied with giving birth to the third one, too. *grin*
And I was blessed with straight teeth. No braces for me!
Crediting me with a third, huh? LOL! I figured you were pretty tired, plus you meet so many moms I wouldn't expect you to remember my brood. LOL
So you didn't have braces? You lucky lady! :-)
That is such a sweet, kind thing to say. Thank you. :-)
Karen was very nice and the balloon thing was awesome. You know, she said she was going to count to three and we should let go of our full balloons, but do you know that everyone let go on one? Including me. I didn't even mean to. I guess subconsciously I wanted to "let go".
It's been awhile since I've "seen" you. Thanks for stopping by. :-)
