Do you write a lot from Sparkie's point of view?

This was the first time actually.

When I sat down to write on Sunday thinking hmmm campfire stories...Sparkie, who had been a silent but conscious air elemental and secondary character spoke up.

I am totally "flying by the seat of my pants" for Camp Wrimo for the first time (I usually start with at least one character or plot idea) and in the spirit of NaNoWriMo it's been a very rough first draft, and a daily battle against my inner editor.

Sparkie is a great character for this prompt, and the story was very good! "Flying by the seat of your pants" may be nerve wracking at times, but it has paid off.

Sparkie sounds very cute, even though it seems he likes to think of himself as dangerous. Potentially dangerous! Except where Ree is concerned.

It sounds as if Ree is just a child, and Sparkie too innocent himself to realize that, which makes his POV on his time with her all the cuter. Magnificent tomes of alphabet books! How can he know?
