And if writing more posts about hot men is the way to repay one of them for her help, I'll have to work on it. :)<br /><br />Thank you all for the kind words.Melanie Crousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353025724182677932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-92069327523149430722012-01-08T17:17:21.186-08:002012-01-08T17:17:21.186-08:00((Hugs)) Moving blows.

And having someone pack for you is *totally* worth it... until they steal all your linens, including the handmade quilt inherited from your husband great-great-grandmother and insured at $5 a pound. (Yes, that means it's worthless once lost.) <br /><br />After that experience, we compromised and packed everything ourselves except the kitchen, because I didn't own anything valuable in the kitchen and packing dishes is a PAIN.<br /><br />But what I would DEFINITELY do next time, if I were ever moving again, which I never ever will because moving sucks, is: I would hire someone to clean the house I was moving out of. If you can swing that, it will be worth it, I guarantee.<br /><br />But back to writing... great point about your reaction to setting. My husband's and my completely different opinions about the desert come to mind. He thinks it's beautiful; I think it's depressing. In fiction, there often is no setting without character, except in those cases where the setting becomes a character in its own right.Sarah McCanlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05692009969291537927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-78274516272612377392012-01-08T13:37:01.317-08:002012-01-08T13:37:01.317-08:00Response to locations and situations.

Sounds like it'll be a good thing when it's done, though.<br />As for hot men... ah, drifted off there for a minute (thinking of dh - of course).<br />I've just gotten into Burn Notice, too, and I love the Bourne series. And I agree with you, books where the character really grow and finally triumph are some of my favorites.Susan Buttarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456005411871122298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-44508559434605258092012-01-07T14:50:41.993-08:002012-01-07T14:50:41.993-08:00Please write more about hot men.

The two younger kids finding new toys made me laugh. Very cute.<br /><br />I've had a crush on Matt Damon since Good Will Hunting. I love his character Jason Bourne, awesome movies.<br /><br />Great advice. Thanks for sharing. :)MaryAnn Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618345950149423623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561827139818452407.post-60993628319880378262012-01-07T12:38:45.174-08:002012-01-07T12:38:45.174-08:00Hooray!

And I also love writing about characters who become strong, or who find out that their own strengths are just as powerful in their own way as any superhero.<br /><br />And you get extra bonus points for bringing in Ghostbusters as an example. One of my favorite all time movies.Sabrina Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218305456791199409noreply@blogger.com
