How does this character feel about his/her book peers?

Subject FM 1-Becca:

…adores her kid brother Teddy. He knows how to make her laugh and has never been too much of a pest.

…loves Lisa like a sister and would do anything for her, even let her make mistakes from time to time.

…is very attracted to Paul, but isn’t sure why he’s attracted to her.

…thinks Mr. Thornton is a very sweet man that reminds her of her grandfather. She wishes she’d had a dad like him.

Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment.

It’s Like the Full Moon- chapter 6.2 (wip)

“Not a problem here,” said Teddy. “I like taking money from people that are willing to give it up.” Teddy took him home and showed him around his luxury cabin. It was two stories, with two bedrooms, and one and a half bathrooms. It had a nice size kitchen and living room with a large storage shed out back to house all of Teddy’s sporting goods. Teddy told Paul about how he was having company come over, that evening, to have dinner and discuss plans for his sister’s wedding. He invited Paul and told him that is wasn’t anything formal and that he’d kick him out if he didn’t agree to stick around and attend. Paul agreed, but mainly because he hadn’t yet gotten a car and couldn’t really go anywhere.

EC: Giovanni's Angel Full Moon Tea & Conversation

Tea and Conversation 16: Cancer

teaNtalk

Today I’m sharing a picture of some tea drinking tips and benefits I posted on my tea pin board.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Eternal Curse and Full Moon, and I’m writing about: Why cancer?

I’m sure, for those of you who’ve been around for a while, you’ve heard about Abraham’s story and know that I’ve recently been involved in raising funds for the American Cancer Society. Well, I’m at it again, even though I’ve toned it down quite a bit. In my new story, It’s Like the Full Moon, another character is laid to rest by the hands of cancer.

When I originally wrote Eternal Curse and decided to inflict one of the characters with cancer, I did so because I knew that it was an affliction most readers would immediately be able to identify with. It wasn’t until much later that I realized just how much my life had actually been impacted by the disease. Then just after the release of Eternal Curse, I lost someone to cancer and my whole world was turned inside out. It hit me hard.

I didn’t realize before then that I had managed to push aside feelings of sadness and grief for others and had been able to look away and hid away the hurt. I didn’t realize just how much I had been influenced by all the instances of loss until I experienced it for myself. I understood then that cancer had, and would probably again, find its way into my writing.
