So down to earth. the only one that kind of irked me a bit was...oh, gosh, having a moment here....she's one of the wallflowers, married the uptight lord...oh, man, what was her name? Yeah, well, she bugged me a bit. But Daisy, and Evangeline, they were gems!!!Sophie Renwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743403814208829812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962870945356417469.post-74395086515172177142010-02-11T09:36:37.733-05:002010-02-11T09:36:37.733-05:00Great post, Charlotte!
Well, let me see...I don&#...Great post, Charlotte!<br /><br />Well, let me see...I don't think I've read many heroines whose names didn't match their personalities, but I have read a lot of heros that I felt that way about. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I think names are very important in a story. Since we are reading and not having images fed to us like we do on TV, everything the author writes will help us create a visual of the characters. Yes, even names. <br /><br />As for connecting with a heroine...as far as personality wise...no. I haven't met a heroine like me yet. <br /><br />But as far as a sigh factor and daydreaming that I could be in there shoes, "connecting" and understanding a heroine and her motives...I've had several. Many of Lisa Kleypas' heroines have done that for me and several of yours as well. I don't think I could narrow it down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962870945356417469.post-76586267833214835772010-02-10T17:54:43.620-05:002010-02-10T17:54:43.620-05:00LOL! Thanks for compliment, Charlotte. It's ea...LOL! Thanks for compliment, Charlotte. It's easy to be confident online, right? ;) In person, I'm competely socially inadequate. But I swear, if I had wings, I'd be a force to reckon with. *wink*<br /><br />Hmmm...I think you're right about it being a competition in a sense because sometimes I do find myself lacking in comparison. And not just in the wing factor either. LOL! But I find myself wishing I was more like so and so rather than myself but funnily enough, this doesn't ever give me a complex. I'm not depressed over it, quite the oppisite. I love reading about the heroines that have traits I long for because when you connect, you ARE them in the book and that's the fantasy/escapism aspect that I love about romance novels. I can be anyone I want to be and I get to fall in love over and over again. Definitely a sweet deal. ;)<br /><br />(((HUGS))) VFGVampFanGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787244891094182599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962870945356417469.post-53227216150022561812010-02-10T16:03:07.070-05:002010-02-10T16:03:07.070-05:00hey, VFG!!!

And actually, I think you embody many of those qualities you're admiring in heroine! ;)<br /><br />I wonder if we have a hard time relating because there is the competition factor, even with a book that is fictional. I wonder if men look at male leads and feel the same us?Charlotte Featherstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785725026005235430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962870945356417469.post-33301987578251400562010-02-10T15:44:49.123-05:002010-02-10T15:44:49.123-05:00Great post Charlotte. I always love learning "...Great post Charlotte. I always love learning "the behind the scenes" of novels and how they did this or that. The whole act of writing a novel is a long process and I have to imagine that a lot can happen in that time that affects the writing so my curiousity is always piqued when a post from author like this pops up.<br /><br />I agree with you that a name is very important to the story and I imagine that if I was a writer, I'd be playing the name game with you. ;) Hell, I do that already when I'm naming my unborn children. LOL! <br /><br />I can't currently recall a novel where the heroine's name didn't fit the character but I can think of plenty names I didn't like. One of my pet-peeves is male names for females like Charlie or Dylan. <br /><br />And a fictional heroine I most identified with, well that's another toughy. Mostly I want to admire the heroine or I wish I could be more like them. I want to be more confident, more intelligent, have more physical stregth or a keener wit, that's what I want. I identify with a heroine when she has qualities I covet. Is that bad? I don't know but right now I'm lusting after Elena from ARCHANGEL'S KISS. She embodies all the traits I long for. <br /><br />Generally I clash with heroines that are too independant. This especially happens in contemporaries but its a trait that is surely to grate.<br /><br />So yeah, I've blabbered enough I think. LOL!<br /><br />(((HUGS))) VFGVampFanGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787244891094182599noreply@blogger.com
