Not until I had to put the inner conflict into summary did I see that although this is really Dalton's book, because he has the most to lose, it's actually Miri who changes more. <BR/><BR/>As Deb Dixon pointed out, in a romance you've got two ALMOST equal protagonists, but one will edge out the other just a tad. <BR/><BR/>Sigh.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-89023631694840861712008-04-09T19:33:00.000-06:002008-04-09T19:33:00.000-06:00Sounds like a good story, Terry.

In fact, I've started books (writing) thinking it was one person's and then realized several chapters (pages in case of Fortuneteller) that it was really the other's. In fact, with Dreamwalk, I didn't realize it was Adam's story until I started revising it, and my villain, who'd been protesting his innocence all along, turned out to be right. Poor Adam, his prime suspect is now out of jail and he's about to find out who it really is .... (yes, this is unpublished and yes, this is all happening behind the scenes. If it's ever published, you'll have to go to my website to find out what almost happened. *G*)<BR/><BR/>Where was I? Besides on WAYYYY too much caffeine today? Oh, he/she. I also like it when it's somewhat balanced--you know it's one person's story, but both of them make such changes (pick a Karen Rose, any one, for example) that you'd be hard pressed to say whose it really is (as a reader).<BR/><BR/>My four cents worth ....Lara Dienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228240987610386771noreply@blogger.com
