Category: 30 Day challenge

life updates

I realize that I have been absent for a week….it was however not intentional. between Dr’s appointments and books releasing….I just brain fogged. Though I did have a nice surprise. went to the Dr because I have a sinus infection and the check in notes acknowledged that I have fibromyalgia and Autism. both of them previous doctors were not willing to diagnose me with. though other doctors had? I am sure that they are correct and having a dr agree just feels so good.

I should be doing the daily thing again through November but I don’t think I’ll be doing the normal week posts as I am doing 2 pad challenges and trying to do the Fae 50k.

Character development

                    What is it that makes memorable?  All writer’s try to make the characters they write pop. It’s more than just good description.  It is in personality and interaction. In some ways a really good story is a puzzle. Just one piece out of place will cause the story to be ruined.  The pieces of a really great story,  the ones that keep it strong in the reader’s mind,  are strong characters and a good plot. There are so many smaller elements,  still I believe without the major building blocks of character and plot,  stories don’t stick.
                 I love complex characters who are very realistic.  Ones who have flaws and seem to have more than one dimension.  Emotions are not always easy to express well.   So a well written scene is a wonderful treat for a reader. So what traits make the character most memorable for you?

The chance to go on a major road trip with my daughter.

Day 29

I had been visiting a wonderful sports bar for a couple of years.  The owner had promised my first beer for free.  I went,  played pool(i was forbidden to play darts as my aim was horrible ) and enjoyed a free beer.

Day 28.

Hmmm. I really would have no idea.  Although according to Joe….it would be ‘are you ok?’

Day 27

Jean shorts and a black tee shirt with ‘hot mama’ across it.

Day 26

Things I would say to an ex. Honestly it depends upon the ex. There are always good reasons why they are ex’s. Still usually… it’s hello,  how have you been?  I see no reason not to be polite. The only reason not to would be if they hurt me…and since I have moved on…the hurt must not have been as bad as it felt then.

Day 25

Hmmm weird traits. I am not sure I have any.  Weird personality quirks and weird idioms,  perhaps.  But honestly I see there being nothing about myself that is truly weird.  I am unique.  Weird implies that there might be something wrong with any of my traits.  Nope. Unique.

Day twenty four

Hmmm something I miss… cartoons.  Saturday mornings with cereal and early morning cartoons. The cartoons of today really are subpar. I have tried to introduce my daughter to the cartoons of my childhood,  but to be honest,  it really saddens me that cartoons are no longer like that.
