Today it's pouring rain and soccer season is over (which means no longer zooming around for my kids three back-to-back soccer games - yay!) and I have a lazy Saturday planned of playing a few board games with the kids and doing some character profiles for my WIP. Oh - and I just realised I'd better go shopping and buy Pete something for Father's day tomorrow. The kids want to get him Dr Who boxed sets...b/c they want Dr Who box sets. They are so subtle :)
Anyway...
Mini Character Profiles
Author
Kara Mustafa sent me the mini profiles she uses - which are perfect - not too intense that it'll give me a headache and enough that I can feel out my characters and get a sense of their motivations, etc. Here it is:
Name:
Age:
Best friend:
Best memory:
Favorite food:
Favorite subject in school:
Post-school dream:
Hobbies:
What they'd do in an ethical dilemma:
Best qualities:
Worst qualities:

Kara's Aussie character, Logan
aka Jesse Spencer
(from her novel Plan B)

Also, earlier, YA Highway had a Road Trip with the prompt: What does your character hide in their underwear drawer - or other secret location? Which I'm going to add. Kara did hers and it completely rocks - so telling about her characters and really fun.
I have a few characters I'm going to do it for:
Cara - my MC
Ashleigh - MC's best friend
Seb - the boyfriend
Ben - good mate
Flint - Ashleigh's big bro
Anyone else use character profiles?
Any tips for me? :)
So - the contest isn't here @ inkcrush - it's over @ Kara's blog and includes gift vouchers and The DUFF and Break and Personal Demons and more... And it's also one of my favourite blogs for general awesomeness and inspiration.
