Am I allowed a 3 way tie? Each of these couples is a union of equals.
1) Nick and Nora Charles ("The Thin Man") the banter is wonderful (and a little leeway, because I'm thinking of William Powell and Myrna Loy in the movie series.I did read the book)
2) Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara. She was a damsel in distress, but she pulled herself out of trouble (not in the nicest way) and he saw through her faults and still loved her.
3) Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett. She wasn't afraid to be herself, to be smart and outspoken. He was able to change his mind and see past the financial differences and "breeding" to see that she was a good woman and excellent wife material.

I get ideas from dreams. Some of my dreams are like watching a movie. Luckily, I remember enough details to write them down and get the "bones" of a cohesive story. I have a stack of those right now.

I'm writing the prequel to "These Foolish Things" and "At Last." The working title is "The Baldie Chronicles."

At a certain point, if you're writing fiction, your characters take over and start "behaving." The action begins to unfold and it's as if you're just witnessing and reporting. That's when you know you're onto something.

Write to please yourself first and foremost. Don't worry about who else is going to read it; if you are true to your voice, the audience will find you. And master spelling, grammar, and usage. Please.
