So sad. <br />(Dyslexics untie!)<br />I've never made a character list either but that does sound efficient. <br /><br /><br />Katie - Too funny. I'm sure Ms. Harris's werewolves are cool but they are hers.<br /><br />I think I will go old school and look up classic werewolves and actual wolves to get some info.<br /><br />I think about moving somewhere else in the house to write. I was at the dining room table for a while but that sucked. A writer's haven sounds nice but I don't know what mine would look like or where it would be.<br /><br />If we win that HGTV house in Vermont I'm sure I could find a place to write there!Heather M.

There is good description of their culture and rituals. If you're interested....<br /><br />I'm still convinced you need a separate room where you can escape everything else and just write. You have too many distractions. I saw a pic of a writer's haven in a mag once - I'll see if I can find it. I always wanted to make it for you.<br /><br />KatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-51777778043439408562011-02-08T09:47:39.114-05:002011-02-08T09:47:39.114-05:00Oh, yeah.

Thanks for stopping in.<br /><br />Kimberly - Good point. I just have to relate that a werewolf would react differently to some things than a human would. Thanks.<br /><br />Yeah for lists!Heather M.
