Rose, Writing Practice

Writer’s Sketchbook 3

Over the weekend I discovered that one character is growing more and more important in the overall plot of the story, and I decided that it was increasingly more important for me to do a character sketch of her in order to aid me in my writing.  This is going to be a fun character to write about because the reader has a love-hate relationship with her because her personality is so torn and twisted.  So here I present, Violette De La Fontaine.

-olive green eyes – a dark green hurricane of so many different emotions shrouded by thick black eyelashes
