Each has his or her own personality, but I'm trying to see how that's reflected by their jobs. I'll have to do some thinking on that.<br /><br />CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-17857939228666982672010-02-10T16:55:45.328-06:002010-02-10T16:55:45.328-06:00In ROCK PAPER TIGER (the one that's coming out...In ROCK PAPER TIGER (the one that's coming out from Soho Press in a couple months), the MC is a former National Guard medic, very young at the start, and so she hasn't really defined herself by a career or job.<br /><br />In the WIP, it's a character in economic distress, older, who is struggling with some of the same issue.<br /><br />I think for me it's part of the larger question of how do you make your way in the world?Other Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079055348844157557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-3421133303915441552010-02-10T15:07:08.716-06:002010-02-10T15:07:08.716-06:00I think Deb is so right about jobs reflecting aspe...I think Deb is so right about jobs reflecting aspects of a character. Jenny, the central character in One Small Victory, is a florist. I originally gave her that job because it was integral to the plot that she have her own small business, but it could have been any business. I chose to make her a florist because I thought that reflected some of her innocence before she gets thrown into the world of drug dealers.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-31041419584020942142010-02-10T14:50:15.754-06:002010-02-10T14:50:15.754-06:00I think the career or job a character has reveals ...I think the career or job a character has reveals an insight to them personally. One of my characters is a banker - and he is very formal, reserved in appearances, he wants everything just so. Another is a frontiersman - he has his own rules and is a bit of a loner. Yet another is a gambler and not afraid to take chances when others are afraid to try.Deb Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115066586448611470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-16893208189400744712010-02-10T11:49:32.847-06:002010-02-10T11:49:32.847-06:00I'd be interested to know how plot restricts o...I'd be interested to know how plot restricts or informs career choice?Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876050775872445521noreply@blogger.com
