I hate dumb characters and never want to create one unless I mean to. But then you hit that wall where all your characters are smart – it makes for a great story but then YOU have to be as smart as they are! And thus begins the headaches.

I remember reading a book with the STUPIDEST “heroine” I’d met in a looong time … and finding out at the end the heroine was based on the author’s BFF. As were all the Thelma/Louise situations she got herself into.

I guess the lesson is TDTL is in the eyes of the reader.
