Rough Edges

[wayfaringwordhack]

I know that 99% of the people on my friends list are writers, and I'm pretty sure than a 100% of that 99% are interested in character arcs, specifically helping their MCs improve or grow stronger over the course of novels and, perhaps, shorts.

But a conversation with frigg  got me thinking and wondering: How many of you have the same concern for YOURSELF? Do you actively try to make yourself a better person? Are you aware of your faults/weaknesses, etc., and do you accept them or try to change them?  Want to share how? I don't suppose you go out and try to save the world or arrange to have redshirts  friends killed simply so you can grow through grief and strive to be a better person. *g*

I know I have plenty of rough edges, and I swear that every time I get one smoothed out, I find another jag in need of attention.

*lol* I guess I'm really becoming French because my first thought was that the French are everywhere! everywhere! not just in a tiny enclave on the island. But after thought, I realized you meant Americans. :P There might be an American or two somewhere in Mayotte, but I have yet to run across them. However, I do feel pretty well assimilated into French culture, and it hasn't even occured to me to seek out other Americans (which, come to think of it, I didn't do in Paris, either, though there is a large expat community there).
