Other times, the plot takes over and I have to figure out who would be the best characters to put into the story. <br /><br />Great post!Amparo Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751368034351196820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3108708410255658566.post-51333883339793575002010-09-07T08:17:16.153-07:002010-09-07T08:17:16.153-07:00Hummm... tough question.
