I see what you're saying about showing - if an author is going with a stereotype, then at least back it up with support for why the character is that way. Great point!D.A.

It does seem like society is very jaded, but there ARE good people out there. It's just a matter of showing the reader, not just telling them (like some authors do, which drives me crazy).Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375626649089998707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584765175134352180.post-8848915771717734422009-03-31T09:03:00.000-05:002009-03-31T09:03:00.000-05:00I do like to see the good guy win, just as in a ro...I do like to see the good guy win, just as in a romance I like the HEA.
