Hey Maya, I am working on something else. But I am also trying to do the same thing with that as I am with this – characterise before I start writing! However, as they say, a change is as good as a rest so maybe I’ll go on with that.
Think I may have a solution to my difficult heroine though…

Hey, Jackie, I have to ask. Are you working on anything else at the moment? Because I find that it helps put perspective on another wip that's being difficult if you concentrate on another story for a while. If you haven't tried it, maybe that's your answer. All the best,

Maya

Jackie, it sure isn’t easy. I’m with you. I write myself into my characters. I’m so impatient to begin the story that i don’t really know my characters until i’m in the thick of it and then i have to figure them out when the going gets tough!
Michelle Styles has a great link on her website on Ennegrames for characters styles mostly for heroes i think, but check it out!

Lorraine - somedays I think I can, somedays I think, nup. :-)

Veronica - yes, indeed, I am a Gemini! How can you tell? ;-) Will go and check the site now.

Gibb - Nice to hear from you! Gosh, I could try that too. Personally I would be a Gemini Dog. Which sounds mutually exclusive from what I've read about them. Lol!

Hope you're having a better day today Jackie. Along with the sign, I have and east meets west astrology book that is helpful. It combines the year you are born with the month sign - like I'm a Leo Rat. I go through the book and read the strengths & weaknesses of each sign.

Anyways. Just a thought.
Good luck.

I take it you're a Gemini, Jackie...
My mum's one and she's got the most contagious laughter around.

cainer.com is UK based so today's prediction is now up! Oh, the enigma of it all...

I hope the day off helped a bit. Just remember to take some deep breaths, you CAN do this.

Veronica – my stars were for Tuesday (okay, so they’re a day behind but), paraphrased: There are days when we are in the right place at the right time and then there are days where nothing falls sweetly into place…
Lol! Couldn’t have written it better myself!

Romy – Thanks for the link. That’s really cool. Maisey also mentioned Myers Brigs to me so I might look at that as well.

I recently discovered the amazing Keirsey Temperament Profile. My colleagues and I were playing around, having a good laugh at how accurate teh personality typings were, when I realised this worked for my characters too – and it was spot on!
