So the pictures I have aren't exact, but they give me a general idea so that when I write I know kinda what I'm working with, if that makes sense?

When you think about it, they're fairly rare -- maybe that's because I don't read many contemporaries, but in fantasy at least, I can't think of too many sister stories. The only one that springs to mind is Arya and Sansa Stark ... <br /><br />In my WIP my MC has an older sister and an older stepsister, but they don't have a great relationship; they're not always very nice to her. Still, I'm trying to develop their relationships - blood is thicker than water and all that.<br /><br />Love the Jane Eyre quote - perfect!<br /><br />Emily (a new follower)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-61320498435871192982015-05-01T15:35:12.369-05:002015-05-01T15:35:12.369-05:00The interesting thing is, that for this Beautiful ...The interesting thing is, that for this Beautiful People Edition I rediscovered the only siblings I had in my stories :-)<br /> if otherwise I wouldn't have added siblings to any stories, though I really would have been tempted...<br /><br />"Deep" midnight conversations... like the ones I have with my friends at sleepover parties? Or when my brother wants to sleep in my room and get read to, even though he's already old enough to read himself? Sounds just like that :D<br /><br />I find it interesting, how so many people use pictures from the internet to picture their characters. I usually never find one that fits, because in my imagination they're ALWAYS too different. I've tried t draw them too, but then the tend to be comic figures and not the characters I have on mind too... though I totally understand that you sometimes need a picture of a character :-)windspritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478484772242332262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-51580667280769548572015-04-30T22:47:09.054-05:002015-04-30T22:47:09.054-05:00BOBBY PINS.

Little disappearing pieces of devilish metal, I say. >.> (In other words: I'm constantly shrieking at my sister to remove her bobby pins from my sight.) ANYWAY. They sound adorable and I love those pictures of them. ^-^ And their character development still sounds epic!! AND PFFFT. Don't feel bad about being late. I'm so late, I'm non-existent. -_-CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-17745127108879083692015-04-30T20:47:59.898-05:002015-04-30T20:47:59.898-05:00I love them!

The girls feel so real, too, like you've got a pretty solid grasp on their relationship.<br />And I love that quote! I haven't read Jane Eyre, but that quote is perfect for all the best relationships. :)<br />I've got siblings in almost all my stories, haha. But I think maybe two have ended up being only children? Of course, then I gave them siblings during the book... So yeah. Basically all my charries have siblings.<br /><br /><br />Alexa<br />thessalexa.blogspot.comAlexa Mintahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865586987033390255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2675785862152144030.post-81748551294536195372015-04-30T18:03:13.971-05:002015-04-30T18:03:13.971-05:00They are absolutely lovely!

Which for me, can be really hard. But I think you're going to do it fabulously! I honestly can't wait to see what their story will be like!

My younger brother is eight, but we both started violin together and can do duets. Love the Jane Erye quote. Great job on making them realistic, I laughed at the bobby pin thing, they really do end up everywhere.Skye Hofferthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385765274513034927noreply@blogger.com
