#1. I get to communicate with characters (who have their own voices, thoughts and feelings) without people thinking I've lost my mind.

#2. I get to know some fantastic people along the way (my created characters and real people who often become friends) so the experience is definitely rewarding.(less)

Meeting Cal Rogan







Cal Rogan doesn't have a photo; all I've seen is his profile from behind because he is always turned away from the camera.




 




I learn from Cal and, except for his addiction to heroin and the danger it poses, I wouldn't mind being like him. He has a sharp mind, is a loyal friend, loves his ex-wife and daughter and
has a thirst to see justice served.




 




Truth be told, though, I wouldn't have met C

“Demonstrate love in everything you do; as you grow old, the love you've shown to others will be directed towards you.”
Norma Budden

“Demonstrate love in everything you do; as you grow old, the love you've shown to others will be directed towards you.”
Norma Budden

“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.”
Nora Roberts

“Men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire.”
Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code

“Don't ever discount the wonder of your tears. They can be healing waters and a stream of joy. Sometimes they are the best words the heart can speak.”
William P. Young, The Shack
