Character Sketch

Okay so I am getting the idea that my lull in writing can be cured by doing writing exercises. Courses force me to think outside my very own four walls.

Unless I am reading too fast or my thinking is not in line with the course layout. It requires that we do a Character Sketch. Though it has not broken down what that is. So I have asked my friend google about it and come across this entry on the Journeys into Grace blog  in which she breaks down a Character sketch as requiring the following info: personality, physical features, likes dislikes, family history/life, hobbies, beliefs etc.

So here goes. I think Laila has been retired for when I actually write a book so Tina it is which was my favourite name for a girl as child. It no longer is but hey.

Tina Brown

Just looking at her you would think she was a character plucked out of the Rosa Guy book The Friends big breasted Beulah. She was plentiful at top with a small cinched in waist that gave her an hourglass figure of sorts. Tina disliked references to her curvy frame, she felt the attention was better spent on her state of mind and her achievements. Today was a special day so she opted for her signature look. Her hair pulled high into a bun, eyes adorned in gold eyeshadow with thin black eyeliner and cheeks slightly golden. Tina completed her look with MAC's classic red lip Ruby Woo. 

Before leaving the house she grabbed the essentials of this modern age. Mobile phones, car keys, tablet and a Britons best friend an umbrella. A last minute once over in the mirror before heading out the door she smiled and headed out. As she sat in her car she double checked she had enough time to reach her destination switched on the engine and began the journey.
