Casting Your Characters

This month over on Bits & Bytes: Romance...the Writer's Way we've been discussing who we'd cast as our characters if our books were made into movies.

I've pulled tidbits from articles about Casting Your Characters.  I hope you'll pop over and share.

Original Cast Members of Sapphire & Gold

Sapphire and Gold

Your book is a movie.  Who is your dream cast? 

That's the topic this month over at Bits & Bytes: Romance...the Writer's Way.  I'm over there today sharing my original cast for my Colonial America historical romance, Sapphire and Gold, as well as who I might cast today.


If you have time, I hope you'll pop over and share your thoughts on the subject.

52 Lists - Week 7 – List the Things That Make You Feel Healthy

Have you checked out Moorea Seal's 52 Lists project for 2013?  You can scroll down to the end of each week's prompt and see what others have shared.  I don't have a smart phone so my posts aren't as pretty as the other participant's, but I'm learning a bit about myself and getting some words on the page.  With this post, I'm still 13 lists behind.  It looks like Moorea discontinued posting new list ideas after week 20, so maybe I'll come up with my own lists.  Any suggestions?

Where has this year gone?  And the summer?  It just swooshed by.

Anyway, here's my Week 7 offering.  The prompt is List the Things That Make You Feel Healthy.

What makes you feel healthy?

52 Lists - Week 1 - List the Words That Touch Your Soul

Do you like to make lists?  I do.  So I was excited to find a year-long list project, with a new prompt each week, over at Moorea Seal's blog.  I am a bit behind.  She has three lists up on her blog so far.  The next one goes up Tuesday.  I figured I'd get started and see if I can catch up.

Here's what I came up with for Week 1 - List the Words That Touch Your Soul.
Of course, as soon as I saved the list, more words popped into my head.  I could've filled the list with names of more people.  I did hesitate to post this list for fear of offending those I haven't named by name.  But then, I figured they know they're in my heart and will understand.

What do you think?  What words touch your soul?
