Writing Life

Getting the characterization right: real enough, but not too complicated, heroic, larger than life, believable, vulnerable, and sympathetic. Seems darn hard to me. It's enough to make a struggling writer want to curl up with a good book and enjoy someone else's hard work.

Are there writers out there who dash off wonderful gripping, witty stories? Dunno. That would not be me. If there are some one draft wonders out in the blogasphere, don't bother bragging about it here. I might have to delete you. :@
