I've never seen a blind person have the insights my character Norma Crane Robbins has, I've never watched a man leap great distances from his scooter, but I write about them in my Coalition trilogy.<br /><br />I also have no personal experience in being framed for murder or drug possession, or dealt with a rape cult, but the Coalition also deals with these. <br /><br />Like you, Liberty, if I wrote exclusively what I knew, you'd have a humdrum story about a nobody who watches television and comments on other people's blogs. :D No drama there. <br /><br />~ VTVictor Travisonhttp://victortravison.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6635254887060965792.post-2553881167765293022010-10-05T15:23:41.514-05:002010-10-05T15:23:41.514-05:00@Tracy, I know! :) In my current WIP, my MC went t...@Tracy, I know! :) In my current WIP, my MC went through the accidental death of her fiancé--I hope I never go through that!
