Of course men are included and I hope they are reasonably well defined. Also Gorgon Times was somewhat different in that it was two stories (man and woman) bound together. But women predominate in TLP and apart from Jana there are two friends of hers who have occupied me a lot. In the 10,000-word love affair I refer to in the post I had intended to type the man as a real bastard; however it made a better story to have him the victim of circumstances and for them both to part on an extremely ironic note. I find to my chagrin I like virtually all the characters which may mean I've written a bread-and-butter-pudding novel.<br /><br />However, as I mention, the grand love affair has yet to start and that may change things. Or it may be more of the same. Something else to worry about.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-43355779256086713342011-04-27T16:43:45.183+01:002011-04-27T16:43:45.183+01:00I speculate about the relationships which you have...I speculate about the relationships which you have with the characters in your novels. You tend only to refer to the female characters and and it seems in particular those whom you fancy. But what about the other characters? Are there some, male and female, with whom you would quarrel of fight if they stepped off the page.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.com
