Question about cheating in fiction. Acceptable or not? If some cheating is allowable, how much of it do you think? A bit of eye flirting? A kiss? Going down? Or all out full frontal you-know-what? Or none at all?

Well, a cheating character can be interesting- love triangles are always interesting, and create drama and conflict. Perhaps the character is to marry Woman A for political reasons, as it's an arranged marriage, but he loves Woman B, and wishes he could marry her instead.

Thank you, oh supportive writer friends. All of your comments make a lot of sense and I feel much better about letting my characters be themselves rather than be what I hope an audience could like.

Being a romance writer, I have to say any cheating in a romance story is a big no-no. Now if it's more of a mainstream novel and it's appropriate to the story, I'll go with it, but for me, generally, cheating is reflective of a lack of personal values and that doesn't really appeal to me.

I woke my kids up at 5:45 am so they could see it. Although a lunar eclipse doesn't mean the sky is playing music for us, it was an interesting thing to see. Yes, the moon was orange! We say it go from nearly gone to almost gone. It's a slow thing to watch when it's early and cold out. I'm glad I caught it. I was able to make a science lesson out of it how Sun, Earth, and Moon line up and why there is a lunar eclipse.
