I was just writing a couple of back to back scenes where my female MC is taking on the bad guys. I know, it's not the same as the true girl-fight, but at least it gives me some taste of the personal and wildness factors.<br /><br />Thanks!!Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-2782841441948543792010-02-20T09:43:38.127-05:002010-02-20T09:43:38.127-05:00Thanks for this Beth.

Though I have seen girl fights broken up successfully. Which one did you see today?<br /><br />(P.S answer my email!) :)Heather Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-28126335389361036162010-02-19T15:43:08.366-05:002010-02-19T15:43:08.366-05:00Been there.

It's about being the victor, the alpha male. <br />Awesome post!!<br />(which kind did you have today -- girls or guys?)MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.com
