Ten signs
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
Lee came out of his new-baby-in-the-family hibernation and tagged me within moments of blogging again. Sheesh, there's no rest for the wicked...or wickedly busy. ;)
But I lurve things like this, so here I go:
Ten signs that a book is written by me:
1. My heroine always goes after Mr. Wrong first.
2. In my first drafts, my characters eat about fifteen meals in the first three chapters.
3. I use asides (sentence fragments). A lot.
4. There are oodles of pop culture references.
5. There are dance breaks. (Kidding. For now.)
6. My heroines have friends to talk to, unlike those romances I used to read waaay back when the heroine was a nanny working on a remote island and the hero didn't admit his feelings for her until the very last chapter.
7. I tend to have casts of thousands until my beta-readers get back to me.
8. You'll never find characters with two first names. Like Guy Richie or David David. ;)
9. There will be at least one scene when my character has to buy something.
10. There will be no axe-wielding murderers.
Hmm, maybe I could squeeze an axe-wielding murderer into my current WIP. ;)
I'm not going to tag anyone, but feel free try this out if ya wanna.

My characters are always eating too! What's up with that?
No food issues here... hehehehe

That 'delete' was me again. Somehow I posted my comments twice. Ah- this blogger is either eating my comments or throwing them back in my face!
Oh Wylie! Thanks for making me feel so darn popular with three comments. ;)
:::still waits for Josh Holloway to return her emails, phone calls, singing telegrams and psychic messages:::
I avoid double first names too, though my first book did have Steven Stevenson as since moving to Australia I've noticed people like to inflict these sorts of names on their kids.
LOL that's cute.
I tend to have casts of thousands too.
*sigh* till I have to butcher a few off. ;)
No I really don't do that, but I feel like it sometimes. :P
Oh Lee, those poor Aussie children!
Don't go pulling a Sweeney Todd, Amy -- they'll never let you cross the border again. ;)
