Fun way to use the break up letter prompt with your WIP.<br /><br />I wrote a humorous piece for the June WEP prompt (it isn't adult, though some may mistake it as such at first, depending on your hobbies). <br />And I'm contemplating my favorite book worlds for the IWSG July prompt (I'm co-hosting). Any thoughts?<br />Over at Operation Awesome, we're gearing up for our Pass or Pages query contest with July's family saga genre.

The character profile helped, but I think I could have made do without it. I'm always impressed by how much trouble writers go to with these things, LOL. I find it difficult to do.

Wow, Riq was quick to assume the worst and not investigate. He’s deeply rooted in his religious beliefs and quick to quote the Bible. Hmm, wonder what happened to “Judge not that ye not be judged.” (Matthew 7:1-3) For sure Valentina is better off without such a narrow-minded guy.
