I, as a reader, couldn't care less what color hair a character has, or what her cheekbones look like.Melinda Brasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481061372330595910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-21428059528482192712013-12-16T23:03:58.916-05:002013-12-16T23:03:58.916-05:00Thank you.Thank you.D.

Even if you're a seat-of-the-pants writer, as new characteristics appear for a particular character it's important to have a character sheet ready, so you can add the new character element. As you're going along, it's easy to forget if Josh is ticklish or not. :)Karen Cioffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492421057039326702noreply@blogger.com
