In between working on my newest WIP and researching agents to query, I've decided to have a wee bit of fun. Today, I'm taking a page from the delightful Anita Grace Howard, who described a protagonist in pictures, and playing dress-up with my own invisible minions. My visions are below.
Emma
She's my MC, tall, strong, athletic, able to hunt/butcher a caribou and pack it out by herself. Her basketball team missed nailing the state championship but she still got a full-ride scholarship to the University of Alaska. She's got it all figured out...except she's not who she thinks she is.

That was FUN! And kinda weird. So to help me avoid feeling silly, I'm asking you to join a weeklong Casting Call Character blogfest hosted by me, the awesome Carrie Butler and Lisa Regan. The fun starts the last week of October. Just post your own casting call (or book trailer - more on that next week!), leave your link at Carrie's blog and then hop to see others' visualizations of their book characters. We'll have a grand critique prize you won't want to miss.

That was fun. I'll have to see if I can find the right pictures :-)
Great choices! I love these casting call posts~ they really give the writer's perspective on visuals~ very neat!
Oh my... I have a hard time putting faces to my characters. I "feel" them rather than see them. But it's cool that you found some hot dudes to fill in the blanks :)
You've assembled a great cast, and I love seeing the characters through your eyes! Your book sounds fantastic! :)
great pics. Love your taste in guys ;) And yes, your book sounds brilliant too.
There are other options besides photos - you could do a cartoon character or anime or even digital ponies. (Evidently dressing up My Little Ponies is a real thing. People do this as a hobby.) Hey, no judgment here. We just want you to sign up and come play when it's time! :)
Now this does sounds fun! Oh I'm gonna try this one out I think:)
SWEET! Those are some handsome hotties INDEED. ;) Great job on the pics. :) Isn't it fun, putting faces to the people living in your head? LOL. I love the idea of this blog hop, and can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
Boy, do I love the looks of Emma! She looks fierce! :)
Those are pretty cool. I knew I should have gone with more than two. This was a great idea for a blog hop...tons of fun. :)
Good pic picks.
Mac Powell is one of my favourite singers.
Thanks for co-hosting this fun bloghop, Melodie. I posted mine last night and had a blast putting it together. It wasn't first time I'd thought about who would star in my adaptation! LOL! Anyway, looking at your pics, I'm kind of feeling like a dinosaur cuz I don't recognize anyone. I'm getting old, I guess!
