Character Development: It Is Important!
Cockle Doodle DOOOOO!!! Good Morning readers! Let's talk turkey, oh wait I meant chicken! Today I wanted to go over something very crucial to writing. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
Outside of a great story plot, this is probably one of the most important pieces to the writing process. A character should grow as your story unfolds. everyone loves to see your creation become stronger and overcome the plot, but they also love to see that they have overcome some of their own flaws. Let's say you have a female character that is full of self doubt and has to face a number of challenging issues that are within the plot of your story. Does she, by the end of the story overcome some of those doubts or does she fall further into them? If she hasn't grown out of some of those personal doubts about herself, go back and re think how can you make her become a better stronger person. You want your character to not only defeat the bad guys, but defeat the inner demons that they start out with.
The same goes for male characters, often we put a strong male character out there as a tough bad ass that is fearless. To develop his character we need to bring out his kindness, and break him of being the rough and tumble just a bit, show the world that there is another side to him.
I read reviews and the biggest hit that a writer can take is "there wasn't enough character development, but the story was great!" To write a great and lovable character you should make them as close to real as possible. We as people all have flaws and when faced with challenges that one would not normally be comfortable in , we adapt and change to over come those fears, or we wither and die. The same goes for your characters. Each character should have some sort of internal flaw, and through out your story, that character should be developing and working on overcoming what is being thrown at them.
Examples, a battered wife, should grow to overcome her pain and fear, and do what is necessary to get herself worth back.
A male character who is a tough hardened man with no love or caring, should by the end of the story find some of his self worth as well. Let him keep is bravado, however open him up to some vulnerability.
With that being said, there are characters who are already developed in all manners; tough and rugged, but passionate and loving, fearless but can feel the fear, and overcome it.
My main point is this, take a good hard look at your characters, you know them best! You created them, look deep into their souls and see where you can get them to grow! This will make for a better story line, and get you a lot more attention from your fans as well as publishers and agents.
Well this was just my thought for the day. I hope you take my advice and expand those characters into someone we just can't live with out!
By the way it is OK to get them to be a bit cheeky too!!

A bit ruffled this morning!
I am sure by now that most of you have been hearing about "The View and Joy Behar, and Michelle Collins"and how they have certainly made a HUGE (and that is an understatement) mistake in their "opinion" on the nursing profession!
Both women from this TV. show are now under scrutiny for their "view" and their comments. Millions of nurses have now flocked together along with Doctors to show support for this noble profession #NursesUnite.
I support my colleagues, no I am not a nurse, but I do work with them daily at my regular job and have done so for 26 years. Let me tell you this, in a medical facility outside of a doctors office, you will only see a doctor for an average of 15 minutes. You will however see that nurse for the remainder of your time. In nursing homes there are no doctors The nurses run the show! They make the critical decisions needed to care for your loved one. In a hospital a doctor makes his morning rounds and then dictates to the nurses a plan of action, the nurse is responsible for carrying those plans out, and they often find errors and report it back to the doctor, in short they save lives everyday!! So how dare these two women mock this woman, for being 1. courageous enough to be different and show the world a true talent? 2. calling her out and saying in short that being a nurse is not a talent??
FYI**** Scrubs are not costumes, they are a UNIFORM! A STETHOSCOPE is NOT called a DOCTOR'S STETHOSCOPE! All nurses use them and so do C.N.A's ( certified nursing assistants).
Last night I saw a brief clip of these two trying to back track and support nurses. However, there was no apology given. The statement that one of them has a nurse in the family just goes to show, she isn't very close to that family member, otherwise she would truly KNOW what it means and what true talent it takes to be a nurse!!!
Oh and by the way that nurse they mocked on national TV, was named second runner up of the pageant. Not to bad for being just a nurse huh?
I need to make mention here: I just came across and article that a few advertisers are puling all ads from this show, in support of nurses everywhere! Shout out a big thank you to those companies...
Just remember nurses use big needles and use catheters too!!! I wouldn't get one to angry.

A Few Sample Reviews For You to Peruse
Okay, so I know that all of these pertain to a particular Author, (what do you expect of me? This is what has been on my desk for the better part of a year!) However, you can get a feel for the kind of reviews I give and what I do for Authors who I truly love.
Sample reviews:
Today I sit down and write about some of my favorite Authors. Of course there are the very well known and popular Authors out there; such as Brandon Mull (Fable Haven series) Cassandre Clare, Kami Garcia of course!! But there has been a new addition to my all time FAVORITE Authors..
Since I have taken that scary leap into self publishing and networking I have come across a few very genuine and lovable Self Published Authors like myself. On the top of that list is Mr. Paul Zunckel. His writing is both terrifying and beautiful to say the least. As he resides in South Africa his stories are set in the African bush. What a mirror image of his writings!! Beautiful and yet terrifying. Mr. Zunckel has brought forth some of the best new characters to date. As with Mr. Brandon Mull the characters you can fall in love with grow attached to and feel like they are apart of your family each time you read a new tale. He makes you worry for them, feel pride in them when they over come the challenges set before them, I could go on but I will stop there. As I stated before the stories are great! A good author will make you enjoy a good story but a GREAT Author will draw you in and leave his/her mark on you for the rest of your life. Mr. Zunckel has done just that, and if you take one moment to read his works you may find yourself agreeing with my assessment. Mr. Zunckel is a GoodReads author and you can find his works on Goodreads along with my reviews of his works.
Man in the Shadows Review Where to start? What to say?? Paul brings us one of the most terrifying psychological thrillers to date! I had the privilege of reading this right off and had I been better prepared, I may not have had the nightmare or two that followed. Man in the Shadows is about a literary agent who has spent many years, working hard on building up his business, working long hours pouring his heart and soul into his business, putting everything else on the back burner including his family.
This will only prove to be his demise however! I won't give anything away here in my review, but I know if I were an actual literary agent, this book would have me looking over my shoulder every five minutes!!
A superior story, well told, and definitely not for the faint of heart! So creepy, I'm not sure I could read this book again. If you really want to be scared, and enjoy the fear adrenaline, then this book is for you. The story starts out thrilling, and ends in the same way.... you can't put it down, (that is unless it literally scares the hell out of you!)
I will admit, I do not scare easily, if at all. However, this book had me freaked from the beginning all the way to the end.
In other words I LOVED IT!
Whispers in the Wind ReviewWhat an outstanding story! Mr. Zunckle has out done himself this time with Whispers in the Wind. Once again our favorite characters are back and are in more danger than before. The element of human trafficking in Africa is deeply explored in this story, and I believe that Mr. Zunckle has a good grasp on the subject. Id you are a fan of Mr. Zunckle's and have not yet read this story you need to. I applaud the author for also developing his own subjects and exploring new territory in his writing, this time he brought a surprising touch of romance to the forefront. Good for you sir! The love scenes are steamy but nicely written so that the reader is not put off by the material. So let's take a look at what you will find in this book, romance, steamy love scenes, horror of a family torn apart by human trafficking, and then a wonderful ending... I loved how the main bad person this time around was a female, and she got hers in the end as well as her minions!! It is no wonder that this book was chosen for publication, so you will be seeing it soon in stores! Loved it and definitely a five star read.
Review of Mask of Deceit .Review by Angel C Ernst.
Mr. Zunckel has taken a great leap in his writing this time around. Instead of writing mostly from a male point of view he has delved into the inner workings of the female mind as she has encountered great loss and tragedy.Juliana De Luca, had met her one true love Paul Stewart… a whirlwind romance develops and fast forward to the honeymoon where everything goes wrong. A group of thugs, ambush the couple at a masked carnival, Paul valiantly tries to save his new bride but dies in the attack. Juliana is brutally raped and cut deeply killing her unborn child. Left for dead in the cold streets, she loses consciousness and awakens in a hospital where she is given the news. Her mind is set and with the backing of her well connected family revenge begins to take shape for the murders who committed the worst crimes imaginable.She travels back to Paul’s Safari business and informs his loyal employees of the events that had unfolded. The plot begins to unfold even more with the support of the Safari staff. Juliana will have her revenge. One by one the men are lured in by her and her staff, and one by one they suffer greatly before the perish at the tormented woman’s plot. Throughout the story, Juliana is thrown back to earlier happier times with her beloved Paul and she feels his presence as she sets out to embark on revenge for his and her child’s death. It is her only solace as she faces the men who tried to kill her as well as her family. This is a very dark and powerful story. It is not easy for some to write about personal feelings, and for a gentlemen to capture how a traumatized woman would feel, is truly an amazing feet. Mr. Zunckel has done just that with this story. The emotions take you on a roller coaster ride and let’s face it, not many women out there would not feel exactly the way Juliana feels after suffering at the hands of the thugs. Surprisingly enough, at the end we run into a couple of old friends from Paul’s previous books and one may wonder will Juliana be making an appearance anytime soon in Mr. Zunckle’s future writings??All around I would give this a 5 star review. Well done Paul capturing the inner workings of the female mind.By Angel C Ernst
These are just my latest reviews, and I have many more to do as I am an avid reader and plan to pick a book daily to review for you.

Interview with Author Paul Zunckel : The Blood Trilogy
Paul Zunckel hails from South Africa. He began his career as an Indie Author and after much trials and tribulations has landed full publishing for his work with Vanilla Heart Publishing. Paul has graciously taken a few moments of his time to give us an in depth interview of his work.
Q: Where did you get the inspiration for your book Blood Moon Over Africa and the subsequent followups in The Piet van Zyl Adventure stories?
A: The inspiration for Blood Moon Over Africa came for my love of Africa, it's mysteries, superstitions, beliefs and different cultures.
1. Africa in general is steeped in superstition and supernatural beliefs. The local people both in the rural and urban areas of Africa, have a very deep rooted belief in witchcraft and even a common cold can be attributed to a spell being cast on them.
2. The Hyena is to African what the black cat is to Europe. The wide spread belief is that the hyena is used by the witch doctor to ride to meetings deep in the bush.
3. The Wambugwe of Tanzania believes that every witch doctor possesses one or more hyena that is branded with his mark and is referred to as his "night cattle".
4. A common belief around the hyena is that the animal gives birth in the witch doctors hut, and the owner milks them once a day.
5. There are no free hyena...the belief is that all hyena are owned by witch doctors.
6. In BMOA I took the cultural belief in the witch doctor/ hyena working hand in hand and joined the two in order to create my creature, I also used the superstition of the full moon to act as the trigger.
Once I had completed Blood Moon Over Africa, my characters took on a life of their own, and it was as if a tap had been opened. The ideas just flowed. Blood Spoor in the Dark, I took facts and fused them with fiction, while Blood Demon- revenge was just a figment from my dark side, giving birth to the The Blood Trilogy, I had no control over it, I just went with the flow. The Devil in Eden just naturally followed the flow.
Q: How would you best describe Piet and company?
A: Veronica Strydom was intended to be my main character, but Piet van Zyl decided that "n' Boer maak n' plan" and just took a life of his own.
Piet van Zyl is and ex-pat from South Africa, making his way in another country, doing what he loves and that is living in the African Bush. I think that the best description of Piet and company would be described as normal hard working people who value friendship, and stick together no mater what. The type of people you can relate to, not super hero's but the boy ad girl next door, who just happen to be in the wrong place at the right time.
Q: A lot of new Authors give up after a few rejections, what made you keep going?
A: Determination to succeed, but also the belief that my family and some very special friends had in my work. I would be very hard pressed to give out the title NUMBER ONE FAN, to a couple of very special people in my life.... my wife has been a pillar of support, but so have a few others who all believed in me, and that alone made me believe in myself.
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring writer's?
A: Wow, now you are asking me something. I think my answer to the above question sums it up. Believe in yourself and do not take rejection to heart. Keep writing and persevere, don't give up. Make a small sign and paste it where you can see it all the time... it should read...."Dreams do come true". Mine did, but I will admit to pinching myself now and then to make sure I am not dreaming.
Q: What has been the best part of being an Author for you personally?
A: 1. The people I have met on my journey, and the friendships that have been formed over a common love for writing.
2. The absolute satisfaction of being able to type "The End" to something that started out as an idea.
3. The conversations I have in my head with my characters.
4. The support that I get from family and friends, the positive reviews, plus I get to travel the world in my imagination.
Q: do you for see ending the Piet line and moving on to a new line of story?
A: At the moment, No. Piet seems quite popular with the readers in general and it would be a shame to leave them all hanging. On a serious note, Vanilla Heart Publishing has just released the Piet van Zyl African Adventure Thrillers, and there are a further three books waiting to be written, and hopefully take the reader on another roller coaster rode of mystery, superstition, thrill's and suspense with just a touch of horror.... after all you never know what is waiting out there in the dark under the Blood Moon.

Last book to be written
The Immortal Design, will be the last book I write. I work very hard to bring a great story to life, only to have it overlooked because I am not a well known author. If readers are going to overlook new authors they will be stuck waiting for the next big hit by their famous authors and that can take years for them to put a new book out. As an Indie author.. well I hang up my writing pen and notebook, and push away from the desk. I will review books from here on out. I have too much to do trying to raise a child on my own and must focus on working a regular job that I hate. I loved to write but if readers are not willing to take a chance on the unknown then there is no point to it any longer. Thank you to the one buyer of my new book, and to those who read a free copy but gave no reviews. Always something for free and nothing in return.
