I would say some rules are meant to be broken. I think in writing a drive for the work and a great attitude can go a long way.
ReplyDeleteIn your story, I like that Fiona and Roger are different from another and because of this they can offer something new to the relationship.It sounds like I'll be rooting for these two on their adventure.
