A childhood friend who visited my blog sent me an interesting observation – that she has noticed in me a lifelong tendency to (1) anthropomorphize inanimate objects like the Bunny Cake and the GPS Dominatrix, and then (2) fight with them.

Is that so wrong? Especially considering that bunnies are mammals just like us, and can have some bad intent, I’m sure. And that is a woman’s voice coming out of that GPS contraption, right?

But meanwhile, I guess my friend has a point. I do tend to have my best confrontations with non-humans. With people, not so much – not even when confrontation is absolutely needed.

My book characters, though, are another story. They can fight and confront and assert themselves quite well. Maybe that’s why I love them!

Anyway, good call. I’m going to keep an eye on this because I want to be fair, and if I’m blaming my car or my shoe or whatever for things they didn’t do, I should really apologize to them.
