And I really like the characters you write. So maybe it helps to eliminate one or two so your others really stand out. I'll hae to go ponder.Sandra Leesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911169281960710923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-59401167108132666652013-04-01T17:54:37.648-07:002013-04-01T17:54:37.648-07:00Poor Cody; poor Mike.

I lost her husband Aquila the year before (He's the cat of my heart. There will never be another Aquila.)<br /> Some day I'll post how I keep track.

I remember reading what I think was a Harlequin American years ago, no idea who wrote it, and it had three speaking characters from start to finish. And a bunch of sheep (or cattle--I can't recall). It was a good book, but I've never made it out of Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-16466540284592738152013-04-01T13:44:14.167-07:002013-04-01T13:44:14.167-07:00I think listing them by cabin is a good idea.

I always do that - create a lot of secondary characters because they're so much fun! And 75,000 words requires a lot going on - more than hero and heroine can manage alone. But I understand - we don't want to create Russian novels, just good, exciting, Muriel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065629068634892645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-81958817119868096202013-04-01T09:57:53.482-07:002013-04-01T09:57:53.482-07:00Condolences for Cody.

If there are a lot of characters it's nice when the author puts a list of them in the front of the book and a chart saying how they fit in with everyone else. Or a family tree if it's generational. I used to see a lot more of those than there are in books now.<br />I hope everyone had a good Easter.rozdennyfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506701706951201107noreply@blogger.com
