Footwear gaffe equals a disastrous day ahead!

Not only would she arrive late for a flight transporting some of the Who's Who of the city to the grandest wedding of the decade, but she was also set to make a cringe-worthy entrance. She hoped there would be no press photographers around to shoot hotshot model Rayna Dutt boarding a chartered flight to the Andaman Islands in pink teddy-bear-topped flip-flops.

The most fun thing about being a writer is creating characters that are engaging and likeable. But a Ms. Goody Two Shoes will make your reader fall asleep. While the reader may admire Ms. Perfection for a bit, a story about someone who is too-perfect will be intensely boring. So make sure you throw in a flaw in your protagonist’s makeup to keep things interesting. Flaws trip up characters and create conflict. And, conflict is what makes readers keep turning the pages.
