Good Morning, Happy Writers. Who was the most challenging character you've written about? My most challenging character was Lt. Col. Oliver Talbot. I went into the story Plague with very little experience concerning the subject. It took a lot of research to put the story together and to develop Oliver Talbot. I had to research nearly every detail about his career and his life. I like how he turned out as an Army Special Forces Officer and in his personal life. Oliver is involved in a lover's triangle between his obnoxious Amry Brat wife and his one true love, novelist Nicola Prescott. He also has to deal with accepting his trans brother Ivan and his wife's neglect of their son, Hank. All in all, it was the most challenging book and character I've ever written.

Good Morning, Happy Writers. Writing descriptive exercises is good practice for developing your skills as a storyteller. Write about something you noticed during the day or something funny that happened to you or someone else. Describing a person sitting in a coffee shop or on the beach is helpful also. There are so many things going on around us that deserve our attention. 
          Writing a descriptive exercise also helps with writer's block or if you get stuck in a chapter that isn't working out correctly. It helps you step away for a few moments and you will come back with a clearer view of your writing objectives.

Good Morning, Happy Writers. Have you ever created a character that you didn't like? For instance, a villain who was so despicable that you couldn't help disliking. 
          Mine is Leopold Schwartz, and he is in my manuscript, SUMNER'S COVE. Schwarts is the main character, Leo Sumner's cruel tutor. He is tall and lean with a long face and a horrible disposition. He also has strong body odor. He gets in Leo's way every chance he gets and put Leo down for no reason.

@LeaSheryn yeah 2 characters that I hated but one I loved. One of my characters in my first book was a girl who was obsessed with a guy who didn't like her back and she did everything to get him but ended up going to jail lmao but I loved her. She was dedicated but at the same time I despised her. One of the characters in my 2nd book was a r#pist and a dickhead, I loathed his character but I had to write it because people like him exist irl lol.

@Creativemind703 Benjamin Jackson does sound like a rude character. Fictional stories reflect real life, and we meet up with these kinds of people all the time. It only makes sense that they appear in our stories. 
            I wasn't liking Philippe Ransome in Louisiana either.  He was really slick and card-sharking too. Definitely not a nice person.

@LeaSheryn All the time! That would have to be Benjamin Jackson from my 2020 short story collections! He was a pain in the butt! He was so rude and crass! Not a kind word from him!

Good Morning, Happy Writers. How much does music influence your writing? Songs are great inspirations for storytelling. Sometimes, a story pops into my head when I listen to music. Has that ever happened to you?

LeaSheryn

@Saphireblueelf It's important to listen to a wide range of music, not just what's popular at the moment.

@LeaSheryn So true!! Music is such a big part of life no matter what you listen too! My daughter has stuff from Frank Sinatra to Betales to Metallica, Johnny Cash and Kpop all on her music lists. The thing is, I listen to the same it's amazing just the difference in everything
