I have been busy working on my second novel. I don't want to give too much away, because it ruins the thrill for me as I am writing it, but I have taken on a new step in my writing and I wanted to share it with you.
I am working on a contemporary this time around and decided I needed models. Not just the kind that I can dream up in my head and that works great too, but a constant picture of who is "playing" the physical role in my story. So, since I didn't have to worry about historical accuracy or hair styles or dress, I surfed through Google Images (a fabulous resource, check it out if you haven't already) to find the perfect actor/actress to play my hero and heroine. I think I found them! Let me know what you think. : )
Hmmm, I looooove Logan Bartholomew's soulful eyes and he really fits the mental image I have of my hero, Greg. A very introvertive person, quiet, but you don't want to get on his bad side. Very much like my hero.I love having these pics handy for looking at my main characters. It is really helpful because instead of a bunch of notes that I need to keep track of, I have a handy photo to refer to. Every detail about them that I need to know is right at my fingertips.
Who do you have modeling for your current WIPS?
I picked out a wedding dress for my heroine on Kleinfield's website. It was fun and gave me better details in my description.
ReplyDeleteOhhh... I'm working on my second book right now, too! I think the models for your characters fit well. Kimberly Williams-Paisley looks like she'd be strong heroine, and Logan Bartholomew looks like he'd made a good quiet, soulful character.
ReplyDeleteFinding models for my characters is one of my favorite parts :P My heroine's look a like is Kristin Kreuk (think I spelled that right... LOL). And then my other two main characters are modeled after Justin Hartley and Johnny Pacar.
@Julie, I will have to remember that for clothes! What a great idea. :)
ReplyDelete@Mia, Oh, I am going to have to go google image those names. :) Hope that story goes great!! :)
That's a great idea--that must make it easier to really picture your characters! And Logan Bartholomew is a great choice! I absolutely loved his acting in some of the Love Comes Softly movies. :)

I really like having it too, Amber. Oh I SO agree. Which is why I chose Logan. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the models you picked, Casey! Logan Bartholomew definitely has that soulful look about him. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with with Amber, I loved Logan B. in the LCS movies. *sigh* :)
Thanks for giving us a little peek of your characters in your WIP, Casey.
Love Ya,
Ashley
FUN post, Casey.
ReplyDeleteI love finding the picture to fit my characters. It took me a long time to find the characters for my historical, but they're perfect. And I finally found pics for my new contemporary too.
Historical: (wip)British actress Justine Waddell & funny-guy Bradley Coooper.
Contemporary: (wip)
Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Jackman
Whew...great pics, those.
My finished contemporary hero/heroine pics are - hearthrob/villian Richard Armitage and adorable Amy Adams. They are PERFECT for that story.
@Ashley, Thanks, glad you like them. I was so thrilled when I found them. So perfect. :)
ReplyDelete@Pepper, I LOVE Amy Adams for your role in that one book, I can so see that. BTW, I need to read that scene again (you know the one), sigh, make my heart flutter. So fun seeing you here, thanks!! :D
Kimberly Williams-Paisley as Jenna and Brad Paisley as Greg. Now that would be a great combination. As couple they make my heart flutter.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
