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! :)

More Snippets from Snow White Rose Red

    One of the shadows moved.   “Were you just going to chuck it in there with no thought for the poor folks on the other side?”   Flip’s voice drawled out.   It was a deep voice and it made my heart skip a beat.      He moved away from the trees and came to stand in front of me.   “Some hard-working fellow is plowing his field and then – whop!   Out of nowhere, a poisoned apple flies out and hits him upside the head.”   He clucked his tongue reproachfully.

A Short Story Break

via Pinterest     It has been a while since I penned a short story.  Usually it takes something like a "short story contest" to inspire me.  But I have noticed my writing skills improve with each contest so there is something to be said for writing short stories.      I say all this to lead into the fact that I am going to try another short story.  There is no contest looming on the horizon, but it has been so long that I think I am due to write a short piece.  Life cannot be entirely devoted to novel-length plots...      I am rolling around different ideas in my head.  There is no one to give me the first three words or a picture to base my story on.  There are no restrictions, no props, and no judges.      Methinks I will try something that is both epic and ordinary...something I have seen before.  After all, personal experience, great things, and the expression of the ordinary are part of what makes a story.

The Countdown: Eight Days

Eight days.  Do you know what that means?  Barely over a week.  Tomorrow will be one week from the announcement date. Are you excited? I am. So, today, I want to talk to those who wrote something for the contest, whether or not you entered it in the end. What made you start writing your story?  What was the first inkling of an idea that tickled your brain?  What was it that you liked about your premise?  As you wrote, did you have a favorite character or a favorite scene?  And are you glad you wrote it down?  Do you feel like you learned and grew in your ability as a writer as you tried out things for this contest? And, if your story isn't included in this year's Rooglewood anthology (either because you didn't submit it or because it didn't fit with the other four stories selected), what will you do with it?  Will you market it elsewhere?  Or will you lock it away in a drawer?
