"Melissa - I was getting into the habit of imagining famous actors playing the part.. I had to stop because I was seeing my character the whole time as that person.
I now also look for randoms..

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- Rosalind Smith-Nazilli is a writer with the concentration span of a goldfish - Really!
She has collections and individual drabbles scattered around cyberspace and is in the process of writing more.
Originally from the UK, she now lives by the sea in Turkey with her husband and this is probably what causes her lack of concentration. She can hear the waves lapping at all times, and has a tendency to leap into a bikini at any given moment - not a pretty sight.
She has been a writer for a great many years but has only recently decided to start publishing collections of her flash fiction.
Being able to bash out 100 - 500 words for a flash has never been a huge challenge for her but at some point it is her intention to move on to something a little longer - somewhere in the region of 30k words, anything more and she will lose the plot for sure.
As a flash fiction writer she has encountered quite a lot of negativity about her style and has had aspersions regarding her grammar cast at her. This goes over her head because she tells her stories in the way that they come to her.
Punctuation was never her strongest point so that's why someone else has control over that!
Retired from nursing she spends her days writing, walking, swimming and knitting.

Killing a character..
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 5:59am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I was just researching, in a little world of my own, when it suddenly occurred to me that if I was ever arrested for anything and my computer seized, The police would think they had a serial killer on their hands.
Now I am sure I have read about this before somewhere and the precautions one should take, especially here, where I live in Turkey, because a lot of websites are censored. I can't get into a lot of the ones I want to use unless I use an IP blocker.
Do you just…

I am the same for some of my characters. I keep in mind famous actors as I write. I like it. When I read books I often see them made in to films. i'm reading a series of books at the moment by Janet Evanovich, Her protagonist is a Bounty Hunter(not very good ) Stephanie Plum. She has two main male protagonists, Joe Corelli, a cop and a childhood friend, and Stephanie's mentor Ranger, when she started in the business .Both are love interests of Steph's. I see Taylor Lautner (Jacob in the Twilight Movies) as Ranger. Course you'd have to age him up a bit to late twenties early thirties.
The novel I'm working on at the moment is inspired by my muse, an actor.But on the flip side as Melissa has commented. Pictures from all kinds of sources can grab you too.

Hello Rosalind. I use pictures of unknown people very often and seem to be able to build around them.For example a picture prompt given to us by the facilitator of a writing group I belonged to of an elderly man standing by a a broken window became Yashe Ribar. (Ya she Ree bar) A Phoenix, a Partisan during the II World War in Europe, back to the old battle grounds for a reunion of the survivors of the German Occupation in Belarus. Actually our teacher told us after, the photo was of a famous sculptor. The picture evoked some latent memory in me.
I also have a wonderful picture from one of the Dove Skin Care Line advertisements, of an older woman with fabulous dark wavy hair, amazingly knowing brown eyes, a sensual mouth and olive skin. She became Miriam a lawyer, and she is the main protagonist of a novel I have in progress called No Tears In Manhattan. I'm a sucker for evocative picture prompts.
Welcome to She Writes as well.
