I think sometimes writers forget that love is about more than romance and relationships of the sexual kind. There are so many ways we can deepen a character by showing how he or she feels about a parent or a child or a very good friend.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-78613997615820863502012-02-09T11:59:40.394-07:002012-02-09T11:59:40.394-07:00The iPad doesn't bother my eyes, Dani.

I agree, Morgan, that a love interest adds so much. I like that you started off discussing whether or not we suspect your protagonist can love.
