We're on the same page; there's nothing I like more - well, maybe I like inspiring and encouraging folks to write the bio-vigette a little more, because I know what it will mean to them to have done so.

I believe your way of doings things adds a rich dimension that will inspire other writers. While daughters and sons often think they won’t discover anything new about the character of their mothers before writing their bio-vignette, once they really get into putting it down on paper, they find they have, indeed, uncovered qualities new to them. Would you consider writing an article for my blog expanding a bit on what you wrote in this comment? If so, send it to me via email, lynn@telltalesouls.com , I’ve got your website URL & your mug shot, so we’d be all set. Hi Marvin,

I keep a character catalog for all my books. while I don't always have every specific feature of a character determined when I start writing, as I introduce more and more elements, say a quirky accent or a mole on the left shoulder or a propensity for cussing a certain word or whatever I go and record it in the catalog so I don't have to go searching thru my ms trying to find (remember) what I had written about him or her. Also I prefer to find out bits and pieces about a character thru the interchange of characters as the story unfolds rather than all at once. I'm reading a book for review right now and every scene, every character gets a whole paragraph description of exactly what they are wearing, how their hair is fixed, etc. - it just STOPS the story for me. Much rather find out that John has blue eyes by having Mary say, "Where'd you get that gorgeous blue silk shirt, John? Really matches your eyes." Very good article.
