I believe it’s our contradictions that make us interesting. For example, I hate the rain and live in the Willamette Valley, one of the rainiest places in the country. I’m an introvert and I work part time as a grocery clerk--- an extrovert’s job. I love fiction and find sports boring. I married a man who loves sports and finds fiction boring. I write and read to escape from the real world, and yet my favorite stories are those that reflect real life. My characters just might be a bit more flawed than most, Quirky, cracked, but not broken.
