@chairsniffa I love your idea! I need to think about her a bit, I think I want to name her Sophie. I was thinking about it last night before I went to bed and I'm torn between making her the sort that has always kind of prepared/wanted this in theory and now that it's happened she's like OH SHI-- or the sort that's like your typical bubblebrained, stuck up, "OMG I BROKE A NAIL!!!1!" type of gal, completely helpless in that way, where this kind of thing is forcing her to look inside, beyond the superficial, etc etc. I'll let you know when I get that far! Unfortunately, work calls me away from this noble profession, but you'll be hearing from me soon enough!! xoxo

I love the idea of a strong heroine who breaks the mold of what woman are meant to be like in these stories so perhaps sophie can be equally strong willed hence why their relationship with each other never worked but in saying that I also like characters who develop as the stry goes on so for example she is weak minded but grows into the stronger of the two while Dane seems strong but ends up getting emotional and relies on sophie more and more for morale support so really either way is cool with me:)

Dane is an aussie who has lived in Texas the past three years and struck up a breif but feiry relationship with (yet to be name female character) but moved to a new job doing landscaping in california to pursue his surfing hobby. When the company worked for folded due to the economic meltdown hecame back to Texas to get back his old job as a rigger on the oil mines and meets up with (?) again at the party. He is strong willed but easy going with a simplified philosophy on life exemplified by the phrase you only have one life so live every day like its your last. Although he seems hard to phase when facing difficulties, he hides a dark past and is constantly unsecure of his position in life and always questions himself. Basic character brief

@chairsniffa And not only am I from the USA but I'm from TEXAS of all places, that just somehow makes it even funnier, doesn't it??! Let's give them great names... For guys I like the names David, Jason, Daniel, Dane, etc. Kind of plain jane names, and for girls I like things like Melanie, Melody, Jemma, Jessica, blalhbhlah. I don't know! And I lovedddd Inception also!! I wish I'd been able to write that story myself. I hope getting involved with me helps you on your quest to become a better writer, too. I think working with someone else can really do that!
