Hey Gabe

I'm sorry about whatever it is that had you posting the bitchy rant. I hope it gets better

Mo sounds like a cool character...actually he sounds a bit like me

Take care and have a great day!

Hey Gabe

Thanks. Work is just getting to me at the moment. But it'll pass, as all things do.

I know lots of people like Mo. I'm like him at times, though not often. Hopefully often enough that I can capture what makes that an interesting quirk without him coming off as an idiot.

Anyone that doesn't know quite what I mean...Evanna Lynch in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Elisa off this season's Project Runway is a pretty good example as well.

I had a rather...bitchy rant posted here up until a few minutes ago, but I've decided to nuke it.

I do this quite a bit. For me anyway, it does seem to help clear my head. I can be as bitchy or sarcastic as I want and then, poof, it's all gone. Just the act of typing it all out does the trick so posting them isn't necessary.

Yes, the ability to make something go "poof" and cease to exist is an awesome power.

Oh, and Sharon ... who would ever DARE call you bitchy?

As for people who's minds don't seem to line up with the reality of others ... we thank you in advance for keeping your "down to earth" thinking to yourselves

It might help if you gave him an expertise in something most people are not interested in, something off the wall. The story I working on now will mostly take place on a small island in northwest Washington state starting in the Sixties and moving forward. There will be lots of "space cadets" and others, who don't seem to fit into regular everyday society. Hippies, maybe? That's a very general term that includes a lot of people who were outside the norm and quite often came across as blithering idiots, until you talked to them and found out they were on the ball, except it was a different color than yours.

A character like this can be fun, interesting, complex, and quite likeable, and still be an air-head off somewhere fighting aliens.

What a wonderful description, Carl!
