He's my self-centered cocky jerk who is partnered up with my conscientious, good-hearted main character. And no, they do not fall in love. ;-)<br /><br />Yes, I LOVE the scene with Joaquin in The Village. Just goes to show that powerful love stories don't always require loads of dialogue and flirting.Kasey @ Mormon Mommy Writershttp://www.mormonmommywriters.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-68255481486665670842012-02-16T09:41:28.099-08:002012-02-16T09:41:28.099-08:00I knew you'd like the reference to your fav mo...I knew you'd like the reference to your fav movie, Julie!

(I should have known by the photo.) I got to the part where the main character is Mandy and her mother is an alien and her dad-- Some one stole this story from Taffy!!! Oh wait...it is Taffy.<br /><br />Haha! Great post though, and something to seriously thing about. I could use some foil characters in my stories.Julie Daineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350205936357263571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753047208077056954.post-54928638272034874082012-02-16T07:11:11.630-08:002012-02-16T07:11:11.630-08:00Great post....yes, foil characters.
