Some famous, some less so.

They exist to serve the story, but do you find you spend much time on them?<br /><br />Paula, I envy your great imagination! Every day.<br /><br />Rose, what a great idea for a useful list: ways to describe hair color. Redheads, like blondes, stand out. Could you share some redhead descriptions?Ana Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325215832587691886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-22075371542471085482011-10-31T05:55:31.724-07:002011-10-31T05:55:31.724-07:00Midnight flash: choice of clothing needs to be add...Midnight flash: choice of clothing needs to be added to an appearance list. How does one dress? Walk? Stand? Personal hygiene? All add up to first impressions, and reflect how the character values him or herself.Ana Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325215832587691886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-75601693924516005732011-10-31T04:55:38.856-07:002011-10-31T04:55:38.856-07:00Great post!

Occasionally, I'll cobble together comments I've heard in my life... the good ones of course. None of that "carrot top" stuff. ;)<br /><br />~Rose AndersonRose Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429566802562925080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-59674382626709056602011-10-31T02:01:00.802-07:002011-10-31T02:01:00.802-07:00I can picture my characters in my mind as soon as ...I can picture my characters in my mind as soon as I start thinking about the story. The 'details' about their appearance, characteristics and idiosyncracies come later as I write the first draft and get to know them.<br />Sometimes, I later see a magazine picture or see someone on TV and realise they look like one of my characters. That happened once in Dublin when I saw a poster in a shop window and immediately thought 'That's Abbey and Jack'.Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-37515342792204168332011-10-31T01:34:36.342-07:002011-10-31T01:34:36.342-07:00Great idea to have alphabet posts.
