Characters.
I think
this is one of the hardest things to master as a writer. I want to write a

talking-heads, mouthing platitudes and engaging in dull conversation. I write characters
that make a Mr. Milktoast look like Superman.
I've just started
reading the Janet Evanovich series about Stephanie Plum. Read more here.
