All righty, today we're talking about characters! Those little elements that really make the story. Because it would be kind hard to write a story without that vital component.
I Don't Dance is written in one POV, but there are really three main characters. Ty, Jen, and Ty's best friend, Mike. It's always said that you write a little bit of yourself into each character you write, and couldn't agree more. But the characters are also impacted by people around you, and I love seeing the similarities in my characters and the people I know.
Ty- He is probably the character who is a lot like me. In some ways he's outgoing, and in others he is hesitant. He has a strong sense of justice and values, but can occasionally need someone to push him out of his comfort zone.
Jen-She's quite, yet deep. She doesn't talk often, but when she does it's normally what needs to be said. She loves the little things in life, and finds pleasure in the smallest moments. She's a lot like a dear friend of mine in more ways then one. So yeah, she's a pretty special character.
Mike-Oh goodness gracious, Mike. Where do I even start? He's forever teasing and messing with Ty, but he never means any harm by it. He sees the humorous and bright side in everything, and is the life of the party. And he loves it. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, and he loves making other people laugh. Like, Jen, a lot of his personality came from another friend of mine. And oh goodness was it epic to write. xD
And yes. The three main precious people in my story. Which character (if you've read it) was your favorite? See y'all tomorrow for the last day of the blog tour!
They all sound so sweet! I love seeing how different characters take on different personalities. And hoe they relate to ourselves or our friends!

I liked Ty the best! He was awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that you were able to write the personalities of your personal friends into your characters! That takes a lot of skill. :)
FINALLY, some publicity! I was, after all, the one that got Ty and Jen together.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've always been a ladies' man.
HAHAHAHA!!
DeleteAll three characters sound really cool!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite? I have to say... Jen, Ty, and Mike. XD
ReplyDeleteI love all of them a million. But I guess I especially like Mike's joking. He reminds me of another favorite character I got to really like even though the book wasn't very good. Which makes me sad because I really liked the character...
And guess what!? Mike and Ty also reminds me of David and Rafe from The Questions of a War series by the same author and I LOVE THOSE BOYS!
Edit: the book that wasn't very good was not by you Jesseca. It was "A Distant Melody" by Sarah Sundin. I especially liked Walt's character and his development, even though I didn't like Allie or the plot.
DeleteBut yeah. I'm so excited to get this book! My copy should be in my mailbox by the time my family and I get back from Vancouver, WA.
Seasons change, but what matters remains the same. ;) The characters...they're just amazing. <33
ReplyDeleteIs the book all romance?! :);)
