Writing Tips - Why I Don't Use Character Profiles

Writing Tips - Why I Don't Use Character Profiles:

Read Mikey Campling’s piece a few hours ago and I found it so relatable! I wanted to respond in that moment but I was taking my son to a doctor’s appointment and couldn’t. Anyway, now that I have a second… I also hate filling out forms. (Like, really hate.) And character profiles may work for some people, but they definitely don’t work for me. I enjoy getting to know my characters. And every time I think I have someone figured out, I discover a side of them I didn’t even know existed. (Although to be fair, none of their sides exist because they’re fictional.) Anyway, I went through this recently with a certain TVM character. At first, I loved them. Then, I hated them. Now, I love them again, but for totally different reasons than before. This process is admittedly weird, and may not work for some, but it definitely works for me.

"If I breathe you in and you breathe me out, I swear we can breathe forever. I swear I’ll find summer..."

“If I breathe you in and you breathe me out, I swear we can breathe forever. I swear I’ll find summer in your winter and spring in your autumn and always, hands at the ends of your fingers, arms at the ends of your shoulders and I swear, when we run out of forever, when we run out of air, your name will be the last word that my lungs make air for.”

- Iain S. Thomas (via purplebuddhaproject)

Shout-out to Lenore over at Celebrity Readers for what is...







Shout-out to Lenore over at Celebrity Readers for what is arguably the most spot-on review of Armored I’ve ever read. There’s so much I got wrong with my first book, and this review articulated it in a way that I haven’t seen before. The short of it is, I gave someone a lot of money to edit my book. As you can see, I got (rhymes with “hammed”). That said, I take full responsibility for the bad and the good in my first novel. And I’m glad Lenore enjoyed Armored enough to continue reading the series!

Review of Armored (Book 1)

Review of Honored (Book 2)

Review of Conquered (Book 3)

Also, a very special thank you to Lillian over at Mom With A Reading Problem for recommending my series

WHY DOES THIS APPLY TO ME? WHY AM I LIKE THIS?




For me its like

“Oh yeah, I am a writer!”
“Oh cool! What do you write?”
“…”
“…fiction…?”




I wrote something and some asked if I was ever gonna publish it into an actual book and my face was almost like:




And then when they leave you’re like…..



One time my mom made the mistake of asking to read TVM. Instead of simply replying no, I shut my laptop and damn near tried to throw it out a window. My mom was like:

OMG! This awesome review totally warmed my heart! 

And this reaction to TVM’s most popular character: “Now J.M. that is a man i could get with including all his craziness.”
