note to self: i’ll be there for you, always

written june 6, 2021. Photo by Kristine Cinate on Unsplash I have always looked for myself in other people. I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person. It's not healthy to live like this, but I did it anyway — burning through relationships and searching for something I couldn't quite name. It was never enough, not to be myself, but it was never enough to latch my identity to other people, either. I got close, several times — I thought I had reached the pinnacle of self discovery. I thought I had completed myself. But in the end, relying on other people to help build yourself is never a viable way to do things. It's only recently that I've started to become comfortable with the idea of being enough, as I am, on my own. Several years ago, in this same position, I would have searched for another person to attach my identity onto,...

Beautiful People - February Edition

Welcome back to the February edition of Beautiful People! Beautiful People is a monthly blog thing designed by Georgie Penn and I to help you get to know your characters. You can click here to read the first post, or click here to view the FAQ.

We've tried to keep these neutral so you can answer them regardless of genre. However, if you do write fantasy or sci/fi, try to adapt them so that they do fit your genre, or pose the question as if your character was in a modern world.

Oh, and feel free to submit your own questions as well. Just leave them in a comment on either my blog or Georgie's.

So, without further ado, here's the questions for this round of Beautiful People.

1. If your character could be played by any actor, who would it be?
2. Does your character have a specific theme song?
3. What’s their worst childhood memory?
4. If your character had a superpower, what would it be?
5. If your character crashed on an island with a bunch of other people, how would your character help the group survive?
6. Are they married? If not, do they someday wish to be?
7. What is a cause they would die for?
8. Would they rather die fighting valiantly, or quietly at home?
9. If someone walked up to them and told them they were the child of the prophecy, would they believe them?
10. Do they prefer the country or the city?

    Is it okay to make this interview for more than one of my characters?

      Hi Joy! Yes, it is definitely okay -- thank you for asking! Actually, I was considering doing this for more than one of my characters myself. ;) Feel free to do whatever you wish.

    Hi Sky,

    Oh thanks so much for your encouraging comment on my blog, and I'm glad I can do Beautiful People for more than one of my characters =D. I've been writing up a character profile post first, since none of my readers no who my characters are, and then I'll Lord willing do the BP posts =D.

    In His love,
    ~Joy

Comments make the world go 'round... or was that chocolate?

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
