I got a fortune cookie with my dinner last night: Your character is your destiny.
That's a frightening concept. I've got over 30 novels--literally hundreds of characters. Looking at it objectively, there are very, very few of them I would like to have as my destiny. Even Jade Darcy, whom I love to death, has had a very troubled and neurotic life. She's great to read about, but I'd hate to live it.
Maybe Herodotus Shapiro. He had a really shitty week just before the book started, but he got to spend a couple of days with Polly and ended up a friend of hers. Yeah, that's something I could definitely live with.
