Lia: Martin, I’m a little surprised by the scene I just wrote with you.
Martin: I thought you would be.
Lia: I’m all for subtlety, but I didn’t see any signs of your villainy.
Martin: There’s a reason for that. I’m not the villain.
Lia: You’re not? I’ve already written the scene where you—
Martin: I know. But it’s wrong.
Lia: So who’s the real villain?
Martin: You know already. Hey, can you change my name, too? Martin doesn’t really suit me.
Lia: {Pauses} Anything else?
Martin: Yeah. Aren’t you going to tell people about your newsletter?
Lia: Why don’t you go ahead?
Martin: OK. She’s got a new newsletter. Sign up to receive it in the sidebar. If you’re already on her mailing list, you don’t have to sign up again.
Lia: Thank you. I’m going to go back to writing now, if that’s OK with you.
Martin: Sure. Just remember what I said.

Great interview with your villain. *winks*

Hmm . . . this “Martin” or whatever name he wants to be called, character sounds quite complicated and fabulous. I love that your characters speak to you!

This is very clever! I’ve seen interviews with characters, but I’ve never seen an argument with one. And don’t they argue with us or what??? Probably stealing this idea, by the way…just thought I’d tell you. LOL

Love the dialogue. What surprises, huh?

Thanks, everyone. “Martin” has agreed to his new name. LOL!
Moira, it sure seems like I argue with my characters a lot! In a way, that’s a good thing, because I love the little surprises each story holds.
