Meet My Main Character

NEW BLOG TOUR 

GET TO KNOW MY MAIN CHARACTER

(A new manuscript in the making)

 

I’d like to thank Micki Peluso, author of …. And the Whippoorwill Sang, for inviting me to participate in the blog tour. Please visit Micki’s BlogSpot at: A Writer’s Journey http://www.mallie1025.blogspot.com/

 

I’ve been asked to respond to the following questions about My Main Character in a Work in Progress.

 

1.      What is the name of your character? Is he/she fictional or a historic person?

My main character’s name is Addie Jane. She is a fictional little girl.

 

2.      When and where is the story set?

The story is set in a small, rural neighborhood. Addie Jane spends lots of time at her dear Aunt Sadie Mae’s house hanging on the window sill.

 

3.      What should we know about him/her?

Addie Jane is a very smart and determined little girl who believes in doing things for herself. She is a self-starter and is a wonderful problem-solver.

 

4.      What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?

Addie Jane wants so badly to take piano lessons from her dear Aunt Sadie Mae, but the problem is she isn’t very tall. She has short arms and legs due to a medical condition (I don’t want to give too many spoilers here.)

Because of her medical condition, it is very difficult for Addie Jane to reach the piano keys, and her dear Aunt Sadie Mae’s piano is grand all right.

 

5.      What is the personal goal of the character?

Addie Jane has always figured out things because she is a problem solver, but this time she is baffled. How will she make her dream come true and not upset her mother?

 

6.      Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?

Yes, there is a working title for this manuscript, but it may change. For now I’ve given it this title: “Mighty Cool Difference.” I’ve also contemplated two more titles: “Mighty” and “Different, but Mighty”. Who knows? I many end up not using either of the three. I do know this: My title must be catchy enough to hold the interest of children in the age group I’m targeting for this book.

 

7.      When can we expect the book to be published?

It is my goal to have this book published in 2015. I’d love to have one book published a year. Of course, goals change and I realize I may have to add a few more “twists and turns” to this storyline to keep it a “page turner” for my young readers.

 

I’d like to invite you to learn more about two more authors, Chris Pederson and David Freeman.
