Scarlet, who has been removed because I want to use her for my Nano 2012 novel.
Sorry you missed it
Awwwww, I like Scarlet
I think she needs a bit of romance in her life, a man who is determined to prove to her that there is a happy ever after. Perhaps there’s another market trader who has been watching her for a while? Or, things start coming true in her horoscopes?
Yesterday’s prompt didn’t get done
I’m not too sure what’s wrong with me to be honest. Apart from these characters, it’s like I’m avoiding all other writing tasks
Today’s prompt is when stars align which is apt don’t you think? Perhaps Scarlets story will get written after all

We all fall into writing slumps. Give it time. You’ll get back in your groove when the time is right.
I love all of your characterizations. Scarlet reminds me a lot of me in a lot of respects. I hope she finds her Prince Charming because it sounds like she could really enjoy being loved…if she could get past her feelings of being abandoned.
Good job!
Thanks hon, I hope so, or I’ll be just creating characters for the rest of my life! Lol
I have a sneaky feeling she will
Xx
I like Scarlet. She just seems insecure is all.
I’ve been avoiding editing and can’t bring myself to tackle any long pieces.
Oh yes, very much so
Good luck hon…..ooooo, editing *shudders* lol

A man needs to buy some flowers for her – maybe from her own cart. She deserves a kind thought.
Hmmmmm, thanks hon
Perhaps there’s a guy who buys flowers from her every other day, he ends up tossing them in a bin down the road because he can never pluck up the courage to give them to her
xx
Oooooo, love that idea!
I think Scarlet has a lot of potential for a short story or even a novel. Don’t worry about not doing other writing until the A-Z is over. It’s your current mindset and everything is geared towards creating characters. It won’t be time wasted, as I could easily see you getting 20 or more shorts out of it. I know how you feel, though! I wrote nearly a hundred twitter-length stories after starting the Story-a-Day-in-May a couple of years ago and was unable to write anything longer for several months afterwards! That won’t happen to you – these sketches are different.
Thanks Sue
Oh wow, a couple of months! I hope that doesn’t happen to me lol

She needs a strong man in her life ;o) xxxx
Lol, she needs a man…period!
Xx
I love your theme of different characters for the A to Z Challenge. I don’t for a moment think I could manage the ‘Prompt A Day’ challenge in parallel with ATOZ. I’m not surprised you’re worn out. I was exhausted by M! Great blog, I’m glad I looked in.
Hi Fiona, thanks for stopping by
Lol, yep, I think I’ll need a holiday by the end of the month!
Xx
I love that she has English rose coloring and works in a flower shop. That seems to go together nicely.
Doing these sketches every single day will certainly cut into your time. I think it is a worthwhile challenge though, and you doing great at it!
Even though I don’t comment every day, I look forward to opening each post and meeting another character, because I never know just who will be hiding behind that next letter in the alphabet.
Awwww, thanks Kirsten
Xx
I like scarlet, too. I feel like her plain-naturedness is appealing, and perhaps there is some lucky suitor out searching for her.
Thanks hon….yeah, I think there just might be
Xx
