And I also appreciate the encouragement to include more realistic older characters in our writing.Pat Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004933270844397256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-8300337241918196782020-08-27T14:15:53.257-06:002020-08-27T14:15:53.257-06:00You don't have to be at all and believe me not...You don't have to be at all and believe me not everyone is. :) But in general, I think people are happier here.

It hits the nail on the head from beginning to end. As far as characters go, we writers have a plethora of qualities and personality traits to portray through our senior characters.
