Rainy day

It has rained for the last four hours.  It started as a light sprinkle and very quickly became a heavy downpour.  The downpour lasted for a short while and then faded back to a quiet drizzle again.  It built to a heavy rain for short moments but has mostly been a steady light rain.  It has made me think about the ebb and flow of lots of things, including writing.  It also has me thinking about characters and how they develop.  Usually beings have growth spurts and leveling off periods.  Some, like yours truly, occasionally have stubborn periods where we insist on doing things the hard way, or the hard headed way.  Very few, in fact none that I have met arrive fully developed and have no learning or growing to do.  So, now I need to read my own words and go apply it to my characters.  They developed nicely through the first book but need to continue in the next.  Blessings.
