But when you get caught up in the protagonist's life, just as you describe with Alex, it seems that there is always something more to come.

@Lau...Sorry, I was away and forgot about comments!<br /><br />@Laura, 12 books and 20 years is impressive. I'm not sure I have that staying power, but you never know until twenty years have gone by and you're like oh wow, I wrote twelve books, right?<br /><br />@Alison, thanks. I SO prefer photographs, when it comes to horses, to illustrations. There is so much good photography and so many bad paintings, I'm not sure why any graphic designer would go for the difficult route of finding decent artwork.<br /><br />@Francesca, if they're in your head, there's only one way to get them out...<br /><br />@Susan, I'm going to reach that point eventually. But isn't it fun to say, "And then THIS happened!" and everyone gasps and says "NO!"<br /><br />@Rhoda: Spot on. That's the scene.<br /><br />@Christine: I thought so too, mate, I thought so too... ;)<br /><br />Cheers to all!

So go for it, enjoy it, those people are your friends! It's depressing to leave your friends!<br /><br />I miss Emilio and Gemma. Maybe it's time they told me how they're getting on...<br /><br />Thanks for this post :)Francesca Prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312915602595615476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-21649682819142693162013-03-22T18:27:24.205-07:002013-03-22T18:27:24.205-07:00Natalie--have fun with your characters and plots!

People would ask me if I wanted to write "something different," but the answer (for me) was that I was too involved in Gail's life and I wanted to take her through the next big life change. Believe me, you can take a series protagonist through a lot of interesting stuff in twelve books written over a twenty year period. I hope you and Alex have an equally long and satisfying story.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.com
