How much development do you give you Secondary characters?
Personally, I spend quite a bit of time developing my secondary characters. I like to know what makes them tick so I can ensure they remain true to who they are.
Thank you to my followers
This week my blog reached 250 followers.I am really proud of myself for keeping it going. Life with a newborn is super busy but I just try to write one or two articles a week. I easily could have let this go but since starting my blog I love it.
What theme is heavily portrayed in your story?
My work in progress, Jewel of the Sea, has romance, coming of age, friendship but one of the strongest themes is metamorphosis.
Do you keep notebooks of story ideas?
I use the Simple Note app for jotting down ideas as I always have my mobile phone with me. I do have physical notebooks but tend to use them more for development.
Does your story have an antagonist/bad guy?
I always feel that a well developed antagonist can be both good and bad. Most people have a reason for their actions. It depends of the perspective.
Do you use Pinterest?
I have loads of boards. I have boards for character development, cover designs, mood boards, etc. I save useful articles for tips on writing, blogging, vlogs, etc. I’ve got boards with useful crafts, recipes and hair tutorials. I have used it for my sons homework, party planning and decorating rooms.
Reflecting on Goals set in January
To start the year, I set myself some goals for the year ahead. I plan to check how I'm getting on with that periodically during the year to check I'm on track. If you set yourself goals it is important to check on yourself to make sure you are on target and to re-focus yourself.
On Reflection
Summary: Considering these were annual targets I think I've kicked off the year with a really good start at achieving them. I'm not sure listing my goals as bullet points was the best idea, so to re-focus I shall put my goals into a table.
