Marybeth mentioned that she likes things complicated in her novels. I happen to agree. If they don’t shed tears, then why would a reader. So the question is this:

What makes your characters cry?

I just got my daughter’s costume. She’s going to be a flower this year. Yes, I waited to the last minute to buy her costume. And yes, the lesson was learned- if you wait until the last minute you’ll get a poor selection of costumes, but you’ll get them at a great price.

What would your MC dress up as for Halloween? What is your MC’s favorite Halloween candy?

Family History is big now days. People spend much time and effort to trace back their ancestors. Personally, on my dad’s side, we can go back to the 1400′s. On my mother’s Cherokee side, not nearly as far.

How far back can you go on your characters? Do you know their parents or grandparents names? No need to chart back four generations unless it plays into the story, but with a little history, our characters come more alive.

So, do a little soul digging. What are the names of your characters parents, brothers and sisters, and maybe even grandparents?

Sewing is a contact sport. You get hurt (uh…needle through the finger anyone?), you sweat up a storm (those tiny light bulbs are about 1,000 watts), and you end up wanting to break something (usually the bobbin). Oh…and men tend to cringe at the very thought of it.

Yes, sewing is not for wimps. And I am most definitely a wimp. 

But I’ve found myself sewing for hours during the past two weeks, making a  Quiet Book for my daughter. The balloons look deflated and the ladybug looks squashed and I am quite proud of it. I thought I’d donate my body to research before I ever said that last part. 

What has your character created that they are proud of?

I love football. The hitting. The runs. Ball soaring. Wide hands grabbing. Did I mention hitting?

I love FOOTBALL!

And like any love affair, I hate it as well. It brings me such great joy one minute, then churns my stomach and makes me want to cry the next.

What brings  your characters joy one minute and misery the next?

Do your characters brush their teeth before or after they shower? Is it shampoo first, then soap and condition or do they use the same soap for everything?  

Tell me your character’s personal hygiene regimen.
