Just wanted to let everybody know about the Scribble Fest over at my author blog today...
From http://perryelisabeth.blogspot.com:
"Take 10 minutes to describe a new fictional character in the most vivid, life-like way possible. Don't recycle a character previously used in a story; part of the challenge is creating a new character on the spot and capturing their essence in a quick paragraph. When describing, some like to loosly follow what the five senses might perceive. Think of writing a description that, through word choices in the visual description of the character, also gives insight into their personality.
I hope to see you and your character soon. Happy scribbling!" :book:

There wasn't as much participation this time as the week before. I think everyone was busier. The entries that did come in, however, were good. Very intriguing! ;) I hope to be hosting another after the new year when things slow down. For everyone, else, that is--I'll be planning a wedding. ;)

A wedding? :) *Is intruiged*

I expect it's because it's around Christmas. You'll have to let us know in advance when you're hosting your next one. :D

Yes, I shall give more notice when I host another.

Wedding... yes, if I seem to fall off the planet (or at least off of HW) for awhile, and anybody wonders, they'll know why. :)
