Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be? A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog? I once said that I would never blog or write.

When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story? This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.
