Men

Today I decided to finally sit down and solve the problem of my main male character. Male characters... I've never had much trouble with them, except all mine had been rather fairy tale-esque up until now. And no real person is like a fairy tale character. Even the best of us have some major problems. And this one, I totally blanked when trying to think of who he is.


I've been avoiding it for all these months- writing all the background and plot, other characters, and plenty of actual writing (I'll have to go back in and add his personality to the blank character that is there now)-- But I've reached the point where I cannot write another word without having him. Because his face, I kept picturing a lot of my friends' faces. Because they were the closest thing to him. But none of them were right and they made me write him like them instead of him. I knew, once I saw the right face, it would all click. So I was going allllllllllll through the internet to no avail. Finally I went to grab more Starbursts, and all of the sudden, the person popped into my head. Just like with other details of my book, I have never been so sure about a decision before. It was perfect.


For legal reasons, I'm not going to say who I based the character on, but I am pleased that it's the perfect person. He just fits. I only chose his appearance, but it fits perfectly with the character, and you need to know the appearance to get the person right. At least, I do. I've never actually met this person, haha. So I'm just using the appearance, really. 100 dollars goes to the first person who can figure it out.

Right now, totally too tired to do any more writing. Sleeps... Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
