I avoid it when possible, but sometimes stories just don't work without a character's demise.A.

Luckily most of my characters come back as some sort of paranormal creature so very few know the true sting of death but if I want to write about life (even a paranormal one) I have to be willing to tackle the subject. I am so glad you all enjoyed it! -- K.D.K. D.

I am always searching for interesting ways to kill them off, usually violent. You sound like a very sane, nice person, as am I. Funny how we need to kill.<br />Judi (www.lynnromaine.com)Infogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598764569161683076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-66842323643699791602011-02-04T02:48:43.934-06:002011-02-04T02:48:43.934-06:00I can appreciate your difficulty.
