In THE BLUE EYED GIRL, David is her husband, but he's important for how she relates to him rather than as half of a couple.
The book that I always fall back on is FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS which is where I learned the word "ciao." They were not a couple per se, but they interacted a lot. THE PRINCE OF TIDES again is not so much a couple as their interaction. I like the interaction in GONE GIRL but I'd never think of them as a couple. It was NOT being a couple that created the story.(less)

Working full time, my challenge is to remember the thoughts that fleet through my mind in the middle of other tasks. I always seem to have a backlog of ideas. What is much more difficult is finding words for characters. I find it easiest to create credible dialog if I have a conversation with an imaginary person and listen to what I've said. Often I will write a dialog and then read it quickly. My mind will recognize were I've gotten stilted. I also use the text-to-speech feature on my laptop.(less)

PERVERSITY DENIES DATE RAPE STATISTICS

perversely for blog Denying date rape statistic isolates and silences the victim, and facilitates plausible denial by the rapist.


 I recently postulated in my blog that, since one-in-five college women has been raped by graduation, a realistic expectation is that one out of every five women a college senior asks on a date will have been raped. The on line response surprised me.


I was accused of exaggerat
