Today in Step 5 you're going to Create Your Main Character!

Perhaps you've been thinking of it. Maybe you've already done so, but if not, Here's the Moment.
Your main character is the personification that will carry your core reasons for writing the book, and will also take the lead on ensuring that your branding is a clear thread throughout the story.

To help you bring your character closer and closer into view, you might ask questions such as: What might he/she wear. What might he/she say if blank happened. What might he/she eat. Where might he/she live or work... etc.

See your character through the entire plot or story that you've been considering. Where other characters you develop to support your main character or to support your plot may not have a finality; the main character will. Therefore you should know before you start writing where you're taking this character.

Once you've accomplished this then think about developing other characters as needed. Since it's your first book, try to keep the number of significant characters to two or three. When this is complete, you might make your next post an introduction to your key characters. You might choose a few lines for each or you might decide to do profiles and just list key identifiers.

Take a few weeks to do this. Sleep on your ideas. Do not rush.
Then return here on March 13th for the last step before we break.

A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel- Chapter 9

Thank you for following UnEarth and A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel. (Click on the Image to open a clearer view) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 9 Reece- Women in business. Always a friendly fight. We built what became of Ample Records; the househeld name and phenomenon. The boys emerged with Ample Sound, but we don't change the records, and so I'm owner of management, Radiance is owner of the brand, and Kaylin walked away with all her publishing rights and most of the fame. I recently got wind of Death to Forty and the legacy continues. I'm slouched in my seat when they come through the door one after each other like Dunbars do. I know it's just the way the clock struck them, and that there's no other reason she's here but to be sure none of our plans for Ample Sound conflicts with Ample Records'. I'm stunned by her resolve, but we're all stunned by each other's resolve. They're book publishing roy...

A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel - Chapter 7 and 8

(Click on the Image to open a clearer view) #ABPOS "The Thinner Soul", Chp. 7 Monica Shepherd- What is it with guys and art galleries this millennia: a general period of righteousness and happiness? It's the new wave of hoppers. I used to stand at the corner of the gallery and watch loads of women come through looking for their life's subject in the canvases on the walls. Now it's unknown males just staring with whatever the search hidden deep within. I haven't been able to pin point the caravan in their hearts or the subjects lingering in their messenger bags. I'm captured by his gaze. Standing from behind it's still a deep gaze. I'm studying his selections; where his feet are led to stop, and he appears to have a solid question. I mean.. the three artists, the stories, and the gifts. I study them all as they come and go. I know the types they draw, and I know he's coming my way. It was the recognition he att...

Now go buy yourself dinner and enjoy! It's that simple. Reward your life each time you step up to the plate and stand in the grips of the unknown. Spooky? We hope not. But really, Well done! Now that you've completed six chapters, try adding an element or two to your original graphic you prepared during the Step 1-7 Set up. A new and refreshed graphic is a great way to get more attention for your book, and keep your audience on their feet. If you haven't been updating your social media pages about the book and the new chapters, do so now. You might simply say, "Don't forget to check in on the blog today and start my new book.
