don't be a just an arrogant prick... be a kinder gentler arrogant prick

ahhh yeah... I just love this pic. any one who can smile like that can pretty much get whatever he wants. that's confidence. it's a look that just lets you know that he is completely in charge. I try and infuse what that look means in my mc, Eamon. now, while he can generate a look like that I want him to have weaknesses, even if he is a vampire. I think it makes him more likable and more dimensional.  I'm channeling Elana Johnson's post on her blog this am. if he was all this look(and I'm not saying that's a bad thing) he'd be a very flat character and not very interesting at all. you'd throw the book down and never read it again.
