Birthday Break

 It's my birthday week starting today, so I'm just posting to say I may be very quiet this week, but rest assured you are all on my mind and I will return to your blogs soon.
Hmmm I guess I'm a mix of the two (above).

Do you use horoscopes to determine the traits of your characters?

I do sometimes check them out for ideas.

Thanks for all your well wishes, yes I'm feeling very tired still.
Hoping to get to the bottom of it soon...

  3. Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday dear Madeleeeiiine!!! Happy Birthday to youuuuu!!!! Hope you have a fabulous week filled with all your favorite things!

    I found this great big hardcover book at a consignment shop for $5 called "The Secret Language of Birthdays" that I love to use for characterization ideas. It has a lot of interesting and useful information in it about each day of the year. It's very cool!

    Re astrology, I've been known to use it to figure out my OWN traits. :)

  10. I hope you have a fantastic birthday week! I'm a Pisces too (March 8th). And I do sometimes use zodiac traits to determine my characters' traits.

  12. Hi Madeleine. Happy Birthday! I like the idea of a birthday week! I hope you feel rested and more energetic afterwards.

    Been reading your previous posts. You have been busy posting away. You need a break. Congrats on your award. You are very 'kreative'. I take myself to the State Library to write. They have rooms to hide in and they're deliciously air conditioned. Saves my power bill, lol.

    Gotta hate Word Verification and Captcha codes. Sometimes it takes me a couple of goes to get them right - what a waste of time. I use none and don't often get a robot comment, lol. There are some bloggers I don't visit anymore because my time is too precious to be doing Word Verification and codes. Blogger does a good job of keeping spammers away.
