Top Ten Tuesday: Character Traits I Love
This topic was a lot harder than I first thought it was going to be! I focused on middle grade characters and I think, for the most part, they have a lot of the same characteristics. Kids trying to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world around themselves.

Ooh, outsider is a good one. That can be written in so many different interesting ways.

I’m always on the lookout for the quirky. Not sure why I love those folks so much.
