Character development is what I value most as a reader of fiction. If an author can manage to create the sort of characters who feel fully real, who I find myself worrying about while I'm walking through the grocery store aisles a week later, that to me is as close to perfection as it gets.

It's a matter of walking down different aisles in the grocery store.

Our hunting areas are the grocery store.

A lot of people in line at the grocery store think that they know me, but they don't.

CASHIER: Are you a member of our club?
ME: Um, I'm just getting hot dogs.
CASHIER: That'll be four thousand dollars...or you can join our club.
ME: Um, I can't come to a lot of meetings, but I guess I'll join.
CASHIER: It's really convenient. Fill out this personal information for the next ten minutes.

I have been known to go to the grocery store and just buy pepperoni. There's just something fantastic about salty, fatty meats.
