So, something I have trouble with in my writing is portraying the traits and actions of my main character… like I see her in my mind, so I have a lot of trouble putting her on paper… I have to go back and write more about her after the fact.
I read the other day about someone who said to put twenty character traits your main character has on paper… so here’s my list… AND I learned some really cool things about her. She likes Red Vines? I had no idea… I mean she eats them all the time, but I didn’t realize this!
Next time I write a book, I will do my character seets first!
