Its funny what people come up with. Someone, when reading my story said: "why is it that everything happens to people in books, I mean, why don't people in books have normal lives, like us, why do they always end up having adventures and stuff?"
I couldn't beleive it! Its simple - if people in books had normal lives, no one would read the book! People in books have adventures becuase otherwise the person wouldn't be worth reading (or writing) about.
What I'm leading to is:
How do you make your adventures and mishaps seem realisitc, and not seem like everything happens to the same person, impossibly frequently?
Does that make sense? I expect not - having only just started recovering from all the cramming and the exams I've done in the past 24 hours I probably don't make any sense at all - and at the moment I'm a bit hyper from all that pent up energy beeing released at once. *swirls around the room in hyper activeness*
