Also… Due to illness I will not be doing the character development post tomorrow. I am so sorry, but I have been fighting with a migraine headache for three days.
Thursday art break
So the weather has me sick… And I just don’t have the energy for a full post. I hope to be back at it for Friday. All of the above is art I have done..
Wednesday thoughts
Ever wonder what makes you unique? Is it your environment, your choices? The combined experience? Here lately I’ve been questioning whether I was as unique as I used to think. In high school it was my thing… I was unique and no one could tell me different. Well high school was nearly 30 years ago. In that time I have been taught lessons from life that made the lines blur.
I have met others who have similar stories to mine. Often ones who I see as stronger than I am. I often see myself as weak. Survival doesn’t mean that you are strong, at least not always. Some times survival is just doing what you have always done.
Yeah, my thoughts are fragments. But it still is a legitimate question, what makes you unique? What about you is different than the next guy?
Oh btw this is research on character development for me… So please do give me your thoughts.
Aromatherapy Shower Melts – DIY
Trying to learn how to do bath bombs
These shower melts are fun and super easy to make (also known as Shower Bombs or Shower Steamers). These are great for ‘shower people’ (like me) or for those who don’t have a tub to enjoy a hot bath with essential oils. They can also be used to relieve your airways if you have a congestion from seasonal threats. You can blend any essential oils, for your aromatherapy.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Epsom Salt
1/2 Cup of Corn Starch
3 Teaspoon of Water (may need to add more)
Food Coloring (optional)
Essential oils – approx 20 to 40 drops
– I used an Invigorating Blend which included the following essential oils: Bergamot, Wild Orange, Lemon and Douglas Fir
Instructions:
- Combine Baking Soda, Epsom salt and Corn Starch and mix well until combined
- Pour 1 teaspoon of water (only 1 teaspoon at at time) into the mix and…

Patreon poetry
Want to hear me read my poems? Once a month I will be making a video where I read two of my poems. They are only for my patrons of $5 or more…. They are links that you can download the video. I will be also doing Q&A… So if you have something that you want to ask….

Woot!
Spilled verse is publishing! Amazon is reviewing it, so I will be posting here later that link… But Here is the other places where it is found. (Though it may be a bit before some of the places show up. Publishing is not instant. 💜)
*Does the Happy Dance*
More Character development
So last week we talked about the basic knowledge that we need for each character. This week… I only have one question… What makes the character unique? This is both the hardest and simplest question that you will answer. Everything else is details and may never be used.
This touches on your original story idea. Why did you choose the character to start with? Where does this character fit in that idea? Knowing this allows you to focus on why the character is unique. You need to know why each of your characters are unique. If you read a story and it has cardboard cutout characters you will be less likely to enjoy the read! So to write characters that the reader will want to read, you need to find their uniqueness.
So what is their reason in your story? This can be something as simple as supporting or slowing the main character or they are the main character. You don’t have to be complicated in how you design the characters.
Once you have this information you are more ready to dive in. And mind you that not all characters need more information than just this. Some minor players just need a purpose.
Next time I will be covering hero/heroine deeper in depth. Hopefully by the time I am done you will be able to write characters that you would want to read.
