As I continue on with my “chimney-shimmying” method of writing (chronicled
in yesterday’s blog), surprising tidbits of my character’s personalities and
physical traits have been coming to light.
For instance…
Did you know that Yates (second oldest of the Six Brothers) is very
tall? I didn’t. Not until my “close eyes and grab” stratagem of attacking the
Colonial dictionary spit out “Long Shanks” as a long-legged person…
Which resulted in a whole little teasing dialogue between Yates and his
significant other, Titilayo…
Which resulted in me learning that Titilayo is the kind of woman not
afraid to take her love interest on in a verbal sparring match, despite their
woefully unequal histories…
Which resulted in me falling kind of love with the freed slave,
Titilayo, and upping my excitement about working with the remarkably strong
woman in the coming months…
Which results in me coming across as a completely loony author with an
active imagination bordering on the absurd.
Oh well, as they say, the truth will out.
*winks*
Until tomorrow…
Chloe
