I can't be doing with plans and sketches. My characters live inside my head,each with their own personality and quirks. I just take them through their adventures, usually with them prodding and prompting me along. I enjoyed your excerpt, a very delicate hand.

They're simply folks that recognize a need and have the resolve to overcome their fear, in order to do what needs to be done. <br />I'm very excited about "The Clearing". It's my debut, so I had a lot of consternation about how it would be received. Now that it's starting to get some positive reviews, I'm growing ever more hopeful - particularly since a sequel is already planned.<br />I appreciate you coming by!<br /><br />ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578371666134702214.post-48248164472701846832013-03-07T03:52:25.604+05:302013-03-07T03:52:25.604+05:30Great stuff Thomas.

Also, I love that your heros are ordinary people pushed into it rather than already being kickass ninja types.
