He's usually in my head, but he's there. LOL. And by living vicariously through Bix, I always have the right comeback at the right time. I wish I'd had his nerve and moxie when I was in high school. He says all the things that I only thought. <br /><br />And I love when someone's reading my manuscript and I see them smile or hear them laugh. That is everything to me.Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216237.post-7435581436206600492012-05-17T18:51:12.246-04:002012-05-17T18:51:12.246-04:00Hi Kristina!

Before taking up writing, I would read a book and wish the author did this or that with the story. Now I make the story just the way I want it.

...I think we are all spazzing right along with you!<br />What I like about writing is I can "what if" with my characters. All the times I've looked back at things I've said or done and thought "what if I had done this", I can do with my characters. I can give them choices and then watch the results play out. And if I don't like the results, then I give them another "what if".Diane Jewkeshttp://dianerjewkes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12216237.post-69445706454655089502012-05-17T15:18:59.943-04:002012-05-17T15:18:59.943-04:00Aw, thanks, Jennifer!

Except I didn't get so much of the glazed over looked, but more of the "Uh-huh, Yea, Cool" comments. Don't get me wrong, he's supportive and loves what I do...but I did talk his ear off a bit:) Now to answer your question. I love my writing job because I get to make people fall in love for a living:) Creating a story built around a blossoming romance thrills me and makes me smie.

T...I think spazzing out is definitely good therapy. The release of a DEBUT novel is a big deal. Some of the things I love about writing is the same as yours. For me, writing "One Hit Wonder" (my debut also coming out in June 4th - *high five Kristi*) was an obsession. When I visualized Audrey (my MC) I knew I had to tell her story, I didn't think I was writing a book until it kind of grew into one. I think that is what I love most about writing: creating something that feels so real is like you're betraying your MCs if you don't share their stories.Denyse Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177975825949433427noreply@blogger.com
