The MC of my current WIP is a girl who tries to be a proper Victorian lady but pretty much throws the rules to the wind when it suits her - and she does a pretty good job of solving the mystery and saving herself too :) Though a little help from Mr. Tall, Dark, and Dreamy is always fun too :DMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-49079222757053007032010-10-25T04:42:15.317-07:002010-10-25T04:42:15.317-07:00Hee hee.

...Hee hee. Love the thesis of this letter in bold!<br /><br />There's no one way, and our characters must be as complex as people--which means stereotypes are only the pictorial instruction manual we must end up throwing out for being useless. Being a man or a woman is intuitive, because we each do it differently.<br /><br />Sometimes I tiptoe. Sometimes I whisper. And sometimes I'm a sight and sound to be feared. My MCs are the same way.Katrina L.
