Agreed! It adds layers to the character.

I love really cool skills, or when someone’s job (skills there too) become integral to the story. It keeps me engaged, and I learn more…about the character AND the skill.

Agreed! I also find it interesting how certain skills are held in such high esteem and never seem to go away. Female characters with weapons – female archers, ‘girls with guns’, or women with living weapons like dragons are ALWAYS popular, year on year.

Haha thank you Lilyann 😊 I got some weird looks from my neighbour but they know I’m a writer so didn’t call the cops!

This is a great reminder that I need to make sure my character has a skill to help in problem solving.
Also, I love that you tried out your own plot, breaking into a car one handed. I admire your dedication 😉
