Beautiful People: August

http://furtherup-and-furtherin.blogspot.com/2015/08/beautiful-people-friendship-edition.html


FRIENDSHIP EDITION
Azelle, Mikaya, and Pritna
from SPINDLE

1. How long have they known each other, and how close are they?
      They have been inseparable for almost as long as they can remember.
2. What's their earliest memory of being best friends?
     I'll let each girl answer this.
     Azelle: Pritna was following me around on the first day of school -- so that was a given.  Then I saw this regal red-head sitting by herself.  I marched over and told her her shirt was hideous.  She said 'okay' and we've been friends ever since.
     Mikaya: I was having a bad day so, in the cafeteria, I found a seat by myself.  Azelle and Pritna -- two girls from my class -- came and sat with me.  It was then I knew that we were best friends.
     Pritna: I just remember being really happy around them.  I don't know when it started.  They have always been my best friends.
3. Do they fight?  How long do they typically fight for?
      Hmmm...Mikaya?  Do you want to answer this one?
     Mikaya: Azelle and I fight sometimes.  We can both be very stubborn and opinionated.  But the fights don't last long.  Azelle is quick to forget and move on.  I'm slower to forget, but I care more about keeping the peace so I keep my mouth shut.
     Pritna never fights.  And she does her best to stop Azelle and I when we do.  Sweet Pritna.
4. Are their personalities similar or do they compliment each other?
      They compliment.  Azelle values speaking her mind without worrying about what people think.  Pritna is the happy, optimistic one.  She likes to live in the joys of the moment -- of which there are many.  It takes a disaster to burst her bubbles.  And Mikaya, while stubbornly sticking with what she knows is right on the inside, is slow to act or speak because she has to think out the repercussions.
5. Who is the leader of their friendship?
     Azelle is typically the leader, although Mikaya occasionally challenges her for the role.  Pritna is happy to follow whomever.
6. Do they have any secrets from each other?
     Yes.  They know each other pretty well, but some things just aren't discussed.
7. How well do they know each other's quirks and habits?
     Haha.  Very well.
8. What kind of things do they like to do together?
     Trips to spa and beauty parlor.  Swimming.  Rock climbing.  Movies.  Shopping.  Playing in the simulators.
9. Describe each character's fashion style.  How are their styles different/similar?
     The typical outfit for girls on G-planet consists of a G cuspik (essentially a short dress), leggings, and either short or tall "boots".  Colors and styles of the G cuspiks are varied.
     Azelle likes the bold and the new.  Pritna prefers soft and colorful.  Mikaya leans toward the classic, durable, black.
10. How would their lives be different without each other?
      This one is a hard one to answer.  I think I'm going to just hope that they don't have to.

    They seem like a tight knit group, I feel like I would relate most to Pritna.

    Really?
    I feel like Azelle and Mikaya sort of take her for granted, but if I had to pick one whose absence would make the most difference in the lives around her it would be Pritna.

    I like storylines where the characters compliment each other. It shows the reader that best friends don't have to be peas in a pod alike. I like your character names and place names. I am looking forward to your next Beautiful People post. :)

    Thank you, La La itL!
    My best friends are not the ones who are exactly like me but the people who like me even though I am different. They are the ones who stick with me even through outside changes.

    Ooh a group of three best friends! I haven't seen that in a while. Azelle, Mikaya, and Pritna sound like they've all got very different and strong personalities. It'd be interesting to read how they each handle a conflict differently, and how they bounce off each other. Looking forward to your next BP post! :)

Goodbye and God Be With You

It's rather fitting that some things come to a close on this day -- the last day of the year. I submitted my last entry into the Rooglewood contest this morning.  I can hardly believe it took me until the day of the deadline to send it in because I'm usually earlier than that.  And, even with the extra time I took, I still felt a little bit like maybe I could have done better if I had more time. But there was no feeling of regret when I hit "send."  Mostly it was just a prayer that Rooglewood would hear the heart of the message when they read it and that maybe, if I win, they could help me bring the full potential out of my little story.  And there was also a feeling, after working on these stories for more than six months, that it felt good to close that chapter and move on to the next one. I did it.  I wrote them.  And I'm really proud of them. Last year, the act of hitting "send" on my contest entry catapulted me into an anticipatory state....

Rooglewood Countdown: 12 days

     For the next 12 1/2 days, as we do our final countdown until March 31st, I'm going to do 4 posts asking about something you would like to see in the Snow White collection.      There are so many ways all of us, writers and readers alike, can win in this contest.  Maybe a familiar name makes it into the final five -- hurray!  Maybe a story in your favorite genre ended up in the collection this year -- woohoo!  Maybe you finally get to read a winning story about an evil king and his Snow White son -- how awesome!      So, in celebration of all the many things we can root for, I want to know some of the things that you think would be cool to find in this year's set of winners.      Without further ado, here is my question for the day: What is a point of view you would like to see in this collection?  Would you like a story written from the prince's perspective?  A story from Snow White's p...

Wherein I Still Have My Nose and Ears

     I decided to take the plunge.  I was going to chop a plot thread out of AAM so the story would fit in the contest word length restrictions.  I saved my old version and set up a copy for me to modify.      Stories are like woven cloth.  Each plot thread is woven into the entire story.  So if I decide to cut a character or a side-theme, I have to go through the whole book, chopping out the references to it.  This leaves gaping holes and sometimes it looks like the whole story is going to unravel.  Everywhere I chop, I have to readjust the whole scene to keep the flow.  It's a rather ticklish procedure.      Over the dinner table, I mentioned that I was chopping a sub-plot.  My younger sister protested loudly (she hasn't read it, but I previously told her the general idea).  Then my mom (who also hasn't read it) offered to read it and tell me what she thought could and couldn't be chopped. ...
