I love killin...Oh my goodness... Your poor boy. =(<br /><br />I love killing characters. Seriously. You'll find at least one heavy death scene in every single one of my books, and some periphery deaths. (Okay, maybe that's not quite true. My urban fantasies are a little lighter on the death angle, or maybe I'm just not done with them.) I think death is a part of life, and cutting it out of your writing is like showing a single wheel of cheese when it sit on a shelf with ten others. How can you do that? ;)Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528372652947659182.post-9035561462314448622014-04-28T09:04:41.483-07:002014-04-28T09:04:41.483-07:00I'm more of a panster, so the story itself usu...I'm more of a panster, so the story itself usually tells me whether the characters are going to live or die.
