Although sometimes it's the picture i have in my head of someone quite well known, but I just need to say the name to myself and there is a certain aspect of them that comes to life in my mind... Well maybe all writers are a little bit crazy?<br /><br />Really looking forward to reading about Seth.Gill Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139563775181908912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-76668972520829739312012-04-09T17:30:19.213+01:002012-04-09T17:30:19.213+01:00I often use a scenic picture for short stories.......I often use a scenic picture for short stories.....an illustration from someone else's story but writing a whole new story that that illustration would also be appropriate for. I tend not to use a visual of a female character - that person is usually me!But taller, thinner, younger, fabulous hair....you understand??Linda Mitchelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948518126405880012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-26405069946842029822012-04-09T17:27:11.680+01:002012-04-09T17:27:11.680+01:00Thanks, Mary....that could almost be a book in its...Thanks, Mary....that could almost be a book in itself, methinks....:)Linda Mitchelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948518126405880012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-62157387300504716012012-04-09T17:26:05.237+01:002012-04-09T17:26:05.237+01:00I agree......I'm sure he would make me smile e...I agree......I'm sure he would make me smile even doing nothing, just sitting there....and actually, I do rather like his crumpled up looks.....:)<br />Hope Easter is being good to you???Linda Mitchelmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948518126405880012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-86681370011424131882012-04-09T17:08:08.764+01:002012-04-09T17:08:08.764+01:00I knew another author who did this every time and ...I knew another author who did this every time and she wrote about twenty or so novels. It works for some authors and I believe some editors like it too, but I never use a picture myself. I have to fix the characters in my mind and I always hope the readers will visualise a person pleasing to them. Perhaps at the beginning a picture might help me remember the details more clearly. Do you use pictures for femail characters?Gwen Kirkwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201272628774727921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3855283511538601375.post-55392505503228437352012-04-09T15:49:03.398+01:002012-04-09T15:49:03.398+01:00Great post, Linda.

Alan Davies captures the heart by being who he is, not how he looks - and at the end of the day, I think that's what women look for, not the superficial things. Mind you , for me, it helps if they can sing as well!<br /><br />Happy Easter!Jenny Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721428313351462045noreply@blogger.com
