Guest Post by Author Rosie Hendrickson

I think there comes a time in every writer's life when they realize their characters are more real than they seem.  For example, I have a book that I had the entire timeline for.  I knew which events had to happen when, and life was good.  Until I made the mistake of getting a very outspoken character involved.  She waltzed right in and said, "You know, I think I'm going to move things around a little."  We had a bit of an argument, which she won, and she proceeded to change things around while I sat in the background going, "But I though I was the author!"  I've been very careful with her since then.
    There are other ways for a character to become more real, however.  Recently I've been dealing with a character who has a lot of emotional baggage to deal with.  Suddenly, all by herself, with no push from me, she decided to grow up a bit.  I hadn't planned it, but as I wrote, I definitely felt her learning her lesson and saying, "Okay, yeah, I can do this."  These are the moments that make it worth being a writer.
    Or they may be the moments that tell you I'm crazy!  Your choice!

A Touching Thank You Letter

The hospital sent a letter to Wayman Publishing last week.  We've found it especially touching, a reminder of how Wayman started in the first place--because of generous people and authors (like those involved in Open Doors: Fractured Fairy Tales).  It really is humbling to see so many selfless people working together to raise a charity donation.


    Here's a copy of the letter we received:
