#PennedPossibilities 11 — Does your MC prefer taking risks or having a safety net?
Bethany: “Safety net, please! I think all the risks were taken *for* me when my dad took me out of wherever I was and hid me away down here in Huerta Cove. That’s enough of a risk for me. I don’t need to go looking for any more.”
Me: “But you’re taking a risk right now, heading down to L.A. with a guy you barely know because he says he knows where your mom is.”
B: “That’s different. I just watched dad get kidnapped by baddies and I’m desperate to find mom, and…I don’t totally trust Jessie, but I do think he’s telling the truth about knowing where mom is. I don’t have a choice.”
M: “Fair point.”
B: “And if I just play it safe and stay put here I might be risking my *dad’s* life.”
M: “Oh, I hadn’t thought of it that way.”
B: “And you call yourself my writer.”
