I've found myself in a puddle of unshed tears while doing some of my research for this novel :'). Aw, thank you! I am still very much working on them, that's what is wonderful about these "beautiful people" tags that Sky and Cait do - they really help me flesh out and figure out the bits and bobs about my characters in a fantastic way! <br /><br />Your idea of a 20th century fashion-themed novel sounds lovely - I am awfully fond of vintage styles ^_^. <br />Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-48215784395935013682015-08-23T22:41:15.914+10:002015-08-23T22:41:15.914+10:00Hello Skye, thank you for your sweet comment!

Sadly I can't take credit for the "like salt and pepper" analogy as I was reminded of that phrase from a novel I read by the author Chuck Black and it came to me while writing this post :).<br /><br />I love stories about unexpected and gentle friendships that are born through insignificantly special moments like a cucumber cheese sandwich.

I am glad you enjoyed this post :D. Aw, well you know. . . munching apples noisily is one of those quirks that bothers me to no end, and when I recalled I had been annoyed about that sound that day, it had seemed like a perfect detail to add to Cynthia's loveable quirks. ^_^Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-38501124545539538272015-08-23T22:36:11.168+10:002015-08-23T22:36:11.168+10:00*blushes furiously* Ah, ehm. . .

Cait, thank you for your sweet and kind comment, you are so encouraging! <3 However, I actually kind of was inspired by that phrase "salt and pepper, rarely seen apart" from a novel I read by Chuck Black called "The Castle of Bel Lione" - :( the only real credit I take to it is that I thought of that phrase as I was trying to describe Jane and Cynthia at that moment. :P <br /><br />But yes, we do try to be brilliant and write gloriously beautiful words. We do our best, ma'am, we do our best!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-80536793328112996052015-08-23T22:32:35.084+10:002015-08-23T22:32:35.084+10:00Thank you so much, Emily Ann!

Your sweet comment is a lovely encouragement - I hope that one day you'll get to read "A Love that Never Fails" by and by :D. <br /><br />I want to read "Resist" too!!

It makes me sad, because I often feel so pulled down without times when I can do what I truly feel passionate about. I think I somehow need to set myself a sort of schedule that gets me into that sort of habit. And you're absolutely right - a few hundred words in a week will go a long way!<br /><br />Aw, thank you so much, Meghan! You are so sweet! God bless. :) Hope you're feeling better soon too. <3Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-10928862328878738222015-08-23T22:26:13.893+10:002015-08-23T22:26:13.893+10:00Hello Alyssa, thank you for your sweet comment :)....Hello Alyssa, thank you for your sweet comment :). Mmm, yes I just love vintage WW2 fashion styles! They're so cute and simple and elegant, aren't they :D. Haha, yes, "salt and chilli" is a true enough analogy, though I should probably point out that I'm thinking Cynthia's hair is more on the reddish than orangy side (think first Cynthia picture better) ;).<br /><br />Aw, thank you! I love those kinds of interests myself too, so naturally they rub off on my characters.<br />Thanks for stopping by!

I love how they're so creative and also how you detailed their quirks and habits; you've obviously considered them a lot. I also love the pictures you've shared.

I know it seems like with life and school you'll *never* get back to it but don't fret. To everything there is a season. You'll get back to it soon. I would encourage you though--if you have a few minutes, snatch them up and just write. Even if it's a scene that will come way down the line from where you left off writing in the story--write it! A few minutes could equal a hundred or two words and those are words you didn't have before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-37809358553842297412015-08-06T01:29:04.348+10:002015-08-06T01:29:04.348+10:00Oh my, I love Jane and Cynthia's fashion style...Oh my, I love Jane and Cynthia's fashion styles -- feels like something right out of a TV show :D And even though you call them salt and pepper, I can't help but think salt and chilli peppers because of the hair colour, ahaha. I absolutely love characters who adore music and theater and basically all the things I wish I could do but can't, so your characters intrigue me a lot!
