Beautiful People: May Edition

Hello, bloglings! It's time once again for our link-up for writers, Beautiful People! Whether it's your first time or your 24th, welcome back to Beautiful People! We're so excited to be back.

What is Beautiful People, you may ask? Beautiful People is a monthly writers' link-up hosted by myself and Cait @ Paper Fury. Every month, we post 10 questions for you to answer about your characters. You pick one of your characters, go to your blog, and answer these questions as you see fit. Then you come back here and sign the linky. While you're at it, feel free to visit the other participants. It could be a great way to make new friends!

We'd love for you to link back to our blogs, either through these blog buttons or a text link.

2. What is their biggest guilty pleasure/secret shame?
3. Are they easily persuaded or do they need more proof?
4. Do they suffer from any phobias? Does it affect their life in a big way?
5. What do they consider their “Achilles heel”?
6. How do they handle a crisis?
7. Do they have a temper?
8. What are their core values and/or religious beliefs?

    I had sooo much fun doing this BP last week. You two come up with the BEST questions. I look forward to it every single month!

    Hey, this is OF COURSE nothing you have to do, but I wanted to let you know I tagged you over at my blog. You can find it here: http://musingsofanelf.blogspot.com/2015/05/favorite-screen-characters-tag.html It's all about favorite TV characters so I thought it might be up your alley. ;)

    Hope you're doing awesome, and have a wonderful week! <3

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.
