I sometimes see interesting people out & about & think they'd make great characters. Love the idea of using Pinterest for character research too!

I'm exposing myself as a real snooper, aren't I? I'm pretty sure Scrivener has the facility to have a photo folder, but I've not explored that far yet!Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871179140755241010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867783804873576106.post-52867328639317747352014-06-02T18:10:03.668-07:002014-06-02T18:10:03.668-07:00I don't think it's dubious at all, and I d...I don't think it's dubious at all, and I don't think it's cheating in any way. You had an idea of what your character looked like, and the woman happened to embody some of those ideas. I think some writers are super visual and can conjure up faces and bodies and outfits, and other writers (like me, too) need prompts or real life ideas as a jumping off point. Recently I used Pinterest to help me describe a character's house (!) because I needed serious help with her modern home. It really helped a lot! <br />-Dana Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
