Charlie is all heart. However if you want to go forward sometimes you have to break with your past. This is just clearing up the past for Charlie. Now his future is wide open.
I am a firm believer you have to allow down times to a character. Otherwise the ups won't be so impressive. Trust me, Charlie has an interesting ride ahead of him.
Oh nothing goes smoothly in my stories. If I can find a twist or turn, I take it. There were times I thought people would kill me while they waited for the next chapter. You have the advantage and can just keep going.
Jo Ann, Really? You thought I was going for Poitier? Hmm. Nope. Read on and you might figure out who he is based on.
Charlie is one of those people who doesn't know his own strengths till he needs them. Just remember the signs of what is to come are laid here.
Well I needed a way to show you Charlie's past. You need the information so when the rest of the characters show up, it isn't such a surprise. And time will tell what happens when he finally faces the man who saved him.
Don't judge Tina too hard. She found someone she liked and thought she could mold him into everything she wanted. Like Charlie she has some growing up to do.
Charlie has never really had to make a stand. He has always been happy letting life take him along for the ride. Unfortunately for Charlie, that isn't how life works.
Glad you found AH, Jo Ann. I hope you enjoy.
Very beautiful Jo Ann. Life lessons are best when you don't know they are coming, and delivered by someone who knows the best way to teach them. Your father left you a powerful memory and showed you the best way he could that his life was one filled with love. Be grateful for such a wonderful memory.
I loved it. Tis the season for something scary. Question is why on earth would use a red thong and go for a candy necklace? Strange but great use of the words. Him telling the kids to sleep well sounds like something my father would do.
I might have named the characters after different people here on GA but even without knowing that it was still a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Glad you enjoyed it. Just didn't see this when you posted it. Sorry it took so long to respond.
