The hardest challenge was trying hard not to write something that would be out of character for one of the other brothers! Since mine was the first story, I had to make sure I introduced each brother in a way that would intrigue the reader to wonder about him, but not give away too much. I like a good challenge. :) Gabrielle Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479898337766911768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1496827248927256885.post-12129088955737038752016-11-30T00:24:34.757-06:002016-11-30T00:24:34.757-06:00Love your last comment: Married one!! :) It was ch...Love your last comment: Married one!! :) It was challenging to collaborate, but we did a lot of work up front, so we could each write our stories without needed to bug the other ladies too much. :) Each brother had a very distinct personality, and it was easy to place them within a story.
