Using Pictures: Character Profiles Part 2

Last week, in part 1 of this character profiles series, I mentioned that I was going to start working on character profiles for my next story. To help get me started, I paid a visit to Pixabay (not the best move as I tend to end up browsing this site for hours on end, salivating over all the fabulous images) and began my search. I typed female into the search bar because I knew I wanted my protagonist to be female. This yielded thousands of results but nothing in the first couple of pages jumped out at me.

Character Profiles – My New Writing Experiment

I’m looking at character profiles today and starting a new writing experiment to help me determine if this is something I should be doing.

I’m also trying to stay focused while I decide what story to write next.

Keep Fit Tips for Writers

Today I want to offer some keep fit tips for writers. I love writing, but there is a downfall and that is that fact that most of the time I’m sitting down. Sitting down, of course, means not moving about, burning off calories, or keeping my body flexible.

Holidays, Realisations, and What’s Coming Next

I’m back after the most amazing holiday to Cyprus to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary and recreate some of the memories. It was a little different not having small children with us this time around but I have to say, holidaying with teens is a lot more fun and relaxing. I really didn’t want to come home to Ireland and the rain.
