The Friday Five – A little this, a little that…

Ah, when today ends, it's the start of a 3-day weekend for me! (Thanks, Presidents!)

So – here are five little things…

1. Gunpowder green tea is wonderful! It not only tastes fabulous, but it smells so… Green!

2. It can be hard to keep your main character from becoming a Mary Sue - especially if she's basically a really nice, smart, and talented person!

3. But (re: #2) we all have feelings that aren't nice at some point – and I get to let my MC have those feelings.

4. If (re: #3) she acts on them – well… that will be a surprise to everyone! (Hopefully to the reader's delight!)

5. First drafts can be such fun! And, such a challenge! While racing through to get the ideas/story down, it's tough to have to go back, just to be sure you did something earlier that affects what you're writing at the moment!

What are you thinking about this fine Friday? (Yes, the sun is shining!) And, do you get Presidents' Day off? (I hope so!)
