I have decided this year, not exactly to plan, but maybe to have a daily focus. I’ve also decided that if I share it here, it’s a target up there to remind me! I’m going to try to post each day with a thought or an idea or a target – it may help, it may become an extra thing to think about!
New characters – sometimes characters need to be fully described right from the start, sometimes they are shadow, sometimes they are not very consequential so won’t need much detail apart from something to distinguish them – the man with the white streak of hair, the rather large woman who always wears short skirts, the mousy man, the very tall woman etc. Because my main character Thomas is doing genealogical research – he needs to start looking at genealogy, so making someone distinguished when all he has is a name and dates, may be challenging!
