But I add one character surprise. For instance in my current thriller I have walk-on characters who each find a body. To avoid (I say, hoping I've been successful) having be cardboard characters, I have a tweak. An example, I have a cop who brings care packages to the homeless people she has to clear away from a parking lot in the morning (and her partner is a hardass who gives her a bad time about it).Perryhttp://www.pawilson.ca/noreply@blogger.com
