I love how blogging has made the world so much smaller and we're able to connect with people. <br />AnnAnn Summervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300190648788509096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-28663481568940933862012-11-30T10:38:19.238-06:002012-11-30T10:38:19.238-06:00I don't really have images of any of the chara...I don't really have images of any of the characters I've written. Which, now that I think about it, is a bit odd. I know a lot about the character of the character and their inner thoughts and emotions. I know their background and friends. But I don't hang up pictures of celebrities or even spend a lot of time thinking about what their faces look like.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-87614677098006978212012-11-29T21:04:35.374-06:002012-11-29T21:04:35.374-06:00This sounds like a good story, Helen. Like you, I ...This sounds like a good story, Helen. Like you, I usually have a sense of what a character looks like, but don't always associate with a picture or actor. I know some writers who always search for an image before they start writing. I usually just start writing and let the physical image emerge.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-3298153028471179982012-11-29T11:15:04.348-06:002012-11-29T11:15:04.348-06:00I usually have a vague idea of what a character lo...I usually have a vague idea of what a character looks like, but nothing so specific that it's modeled after an actor or that an actor comes to mind when I'm writing.Helen Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794759602654727110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-84645787119679824182012-11-29T07:52:03.284-06:002012-11-29T07:52:03.284-06:00Oh, sounds great!

Both because I don't know a ton, and because while I have an idea what my characters look like, the ideas are more general and I don't LIKE to be really specific. (I don't like faces on covers for books I read, either--I am more engaged if I can imagine it myself.)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-13833982314243845002012-11-28T16:14:03.614-06:002012-11-28T16:14:03.614-06:00I think I'll start a sign-up list for those in...I think I'll start a sign-up list for those in favor of the genre "PI Suspense".

I admire people who can write a good suspense--I think it takes a diabolical mind to come up with all the twists and turns.<br /><br />Looking forward to reading this one. :-)~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-76237842459595589002012-11-28T08:35:33.201-06:002012-11-28T08:35:33.201-06:00Thank you Elizabeth.
