Novel Writing Lesson Learned #243

[raefinlay]

It really seemed like a good idea. Really, it did.

I cruised celebrity sites today seeking description inspiration for my major characters. I figured if I could just find that perfect set of eyes, that perfect expression, I'd be able to make my characters live!!! What a dumb-dumb. Celebrities are just way too pretty, way too make-up-y. Aaargh. All I got out of the activity was a severe case of surfhead.

Here's a thought: How about I trust the creative flow that got me writing in the first place???

*shakes head at self*
