Glad to know I'm not insane. Or at least that I am in good company :) It's easier to "work" with characters when you have some idea of what they look like. Even if they change over time, giving them a face helps make them more real to me while I write their story. Great post! ~ Jen PS: I missed Battle of the Bands but I would have voted for MCC.

Besides, I don't have anyone (right now) in your age range. However,if you email me a picture I will keep you in mind!

NEVER cast Susan Sarandon in ANYTHING unless you're prepared to lose me forever.<br /><br />Secondly, the fact that you did NOT cast ME in any of those male roles means that... you have LOST ME FOREVER!!!<br /><br />Check your 'Follower' count and you will find that...
