I can’t believe I just wrote an entire blog post about my hair
1 September 2009
So I’m being influenced by my own characters. Which is a little pathetic seeing as I’m the one who created them. The main character I’m working with now, Gabby, has hair she doesn’t know how to manage. (And, yes, that I borrowed from my real life.) So for as long as Gabby can remember, she’s just tied it back in a slightly messy knot.
Uh, guess what hair style I’ve been sporting for the last couple months?
Unless it’s a day that I’m on TV, meeting with a business contact, or having my picture taken for the local paper (which you can see here, by the way), my hair is up in its knot. And my thought process literally is, “Well, Gabby does it.” It’s sad, scary stuff when you start making decisions based on whether your main character would approve or disapprove. Although hopefully it comes through in the writing and makes Gabby live and breathe.
Or maybe it doesn’t, and I’m just a combination of lazy and crazy.

It IS a good sentence, isn’t it?

Okay, HILARIOUS. Not that I EVER did this with Melrose and food and/or exercise . . .
And for the record—totally cool that you can say “Except for days I’m on TV.” ;-)
