In my first book, I started with the hero time-traveling from the present to 1881, and the heroine being a widowed ranch owner. I couldn't see my way to having a woman of 1881 free enough in her thinking to be open to the time travel, and to cast aside conventions and take in this man, so I swapped their roles. A modern woman had a lot more space to maneuver in my plot, and it was more fun to bring the 1881 hero around to believing in the heroine than vice versa.Anna Richlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758472429790528680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733381.post-90133400482399873552010-09-25T01:54:15.828-07:002010-09-25T01:54:15.828-07:00That's it exactly, Donna - character blind dat...That's it exactly, Donna - character blind dates!

I went through a similar experience with a current WIP. It was really frustrating until I found the right heroine for my hero (whose personality was already pre-defined from being in another book). Sometimes it felt like I was setting the poor guy up on a lot of blind dates! LOLDonna Cummingshttp://www.AllAboutTheWriting.comnoreply@blogger.com
