dark blonde, a bit wavy, usually worn down. #awesomecharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Here's an appearance one that I don't think we've talked about yet: What does your character's hair look like?
Do they have hair? Long or short? What color? How do they usually wear it? Is it important to them?

yeah they're not over each other that's what the book's about #writesky #writingcommunity #lovember #writingprompt
Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:
Would your character(s) still fall for their first love(s)?
If it doesn't make sense to answer for romantic love, you can talk about some other sort of "first love".

good thing she tells us on page 1!
"Back then, I was enamored by the smell of pine trees, lake water, and cigarettes in a dive bar parking lot. Summers were like a warm pitcher of beer, a crisp can of Pepsi, and tobacco-tainted kisses."

Finished reading my book again and it’s in much better shape than the last time I read it. Hopefully one of the agents who has it right now feels as strongly about it as I do #amquerying

Exhaustion #writingq
If your book had a core emotion, what would it be? For my current WIP, I would say desperation #writingq #WritingCommunity

the original idea of NOTWR was that it was straight book club fiction. woman reflects on the boy she had a crush on as a kid and has to face seeing him again. originally he was a year older and i kinda thought it was a bit creepy and that wasn't the story i wanted it to be #novelnovember

Drafts have a life of their own. Pause and notice the journey your story has taken so far.

Observing rhythm can unlock tension and clarity. Where does your story breathe? Where does it sprint?

Reflecting on endings can illuminate the heart of your story. What message are you leaving with readers?

Share a song you think your Main Character would like. This doesn't necessarily need to relate to their story, this is just something you think they would enjoy listening to!

paperback is ideal, but i do read the others. hardcover is fine with library bindings #writingcommunity
