#characterprofilefriday

This picture is of a folded water lily. I dont know if I did it necessarily correctly but I love folding these paper flowers. Something that has always astounded me is the strength of paper. As a flat piece, paper can be cut, ripped, or torn. But fold it and suddenly all of that becomes harder. As a folded water lily this beautiful piece is strong enough to carry small items, can be folded into a square and is very hard to break. So today I want to be like paper. I want to be strong, I want to be tough, and I want to be hard to break. . . What seemingly simple phenomena do you love to think about? . .

Clearly I am a #gluttonforpunishment. So while I am taking a "strongly encouraged" (by my very smart best friend @bookobsessedkydd )break from my current #wip which is book one, so that I can be a better editor when I finally do get back to editing. I have decided to do some planning work on book two to clear some space in my brain for more editing in about a weeks time. . . Are you writing something? Did you take a break between drafts?

#tidbittuesday today explains how I came up with my idea for this story! . . I was scrolling through @Instagram when I saw a post from a tv show that wished their "Aquarius Twins" a happy birthday. The first thought that went through my head was..."Aquarius isn't the twins, Gemini is." After quickly determining that the show isn't about the zodiac signs, it was just a generalized post to their characters, I wrote a simple phrase in the notes of my phone. "Kids based on the zodiac signs." Over the next couple of weeks the thought wouldn't leave my brain and I just had to see where this took me. . . . How do your best ideas come to you? . . .

#selfiesunday Dear Amy, This selfie is a reminder that even when things feel bad or you feel like you can't accomplish anything, you can. Anytime you feel bad or sad about yourself just remember you wrote a book. You have a physical copy and it feel amazing. Love, Amy . . . I am going on a personal journey and taking the #selfiesunday challenge. This challenge is one where every Sunday you post a selfie from a good time from the previous week and write yourself a note as a reminder that there are good times even when you might feel down. Feel free to join me on this journey and challenge because I feel everyone should take a minute to feel good about themselves at least once a week 💜 . . .
