Very hard, but important to differentiate them from ourselves. Great post, Alicia!!! And good luck with your book sales! Your character sounds intriguing :)editordevil.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288986372377855628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-2532558257670763162013-09-30T12:11:52.671-07:002013-09-30T12:11:52.671-07:00Thank you, Kim.

Loved the excerpt, Alicia Now that i'm writing my tenth heroine, I'm paying very close attention to not making them all similar, physically and emotionally. I start with what they drink, strangely enough, then fan out from there. :)Kim Hornsbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227887496541563132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-36397583436794804842013-09-30T10:15:57.988-07:002013-09-30T10:15:57.988-07:00I'm so glad you enjoyed the post and the excer...I'm so glad you enjoyed the post and the excerpt. :) Yeah, I've had critique partners tell me to tone down my heroines' cursing more than once. But, geez, these women are often pissed off! LOL.

Most of my gutsier heroines (or even heroes) have to squelch the natural inclination to cuss like Marines, and that, unfortunately, comes from me. I'm able to curb myself around my grandchildren, but when I'm alone or with my husband and say, watching football, I have a tendency to let it fly. If I don't, I fear I shall explode. LOL! <br /><br />I'm off to promote this on Facebook and my blogsite!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223323805359502083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-35078886241703923772013-09-30T09:18:35.067-07:002013-09-30T09:18:35.067-07:00Great post, Alicia.
