Congrats on publishing anon, even self! That's awesome.

The interest/drive is a really good idea. One of the characters I am conflicted on has a drive - to protect people, as that is her life's purpose, but also to find love - so I need to work a little more on developing the whys and wherefores and answer some of those questions of obstacles and considering what people would do.

The other one I am working on has no drive yet, so I will have to figure that out. She's a fairly shallow character, which is unusual for me, both in terms of her temperament and development, so. We'll see what happens.

Again, thanks! That helps so much.
