The Heroine with a twist

[san_remo_ave]

I just wanted to pop in and tell y'all that I've been following these Anti-H & H threads with great interest. Very thought provoking discussion. In fact, I'm gearing up for Nano next month and I'm going to challenge myself to write the most anti-heroine I can create (and the possibilities are wickedly endless!). Nano is such a great way for me to cut loose --forces me out of my comfort zone.

Thanks!

Probably. Thackery had a strange problem with his characters; he was bothered by them coming to life & tried to control them by referring to them as 'dolls' and 'playthings'. He later commented that his readers found the Becky doll to be in the best condition--ie, the one they most liked. I think he was disturbed by the power Becky had over people.

Bookmarking this for tomorrow, as it's late here. But I would like to say this... From that blog; this has got to be the most pathetic line I've ever read in my life! His kissed her in the sweet darkness.

Where, exactly, is that located on a woman?

 

[mirrorkisses]

well, it says the sweet darkness rather than her sweet darkness, so technically, this is not located on her body.

I guess this is a woman who is afraid to have sex with the lights on??

I'm going to ask my husband to kiss me in the sweet darkness tonight and see where it leads him lol

It does sound like it's happening in a candy factory.

I was asking how to achieve that, so my question was not answered.

I do intend to read both Gone with the Wind and Vanity Fair, though.

Ye Gods, a would-be writer who hasn't read GTW or VF!!!!!

I read GTW when I was nine; my dad bought me my own hardback copy for my 12th birthday (which I still have)

I remember the summer I was 8 years old. I read GwtW at my granny's house. SHe has a first edition on tissue-thin paper. I think I read it 4 or 5 times over the next few months.
