Need Help Writing??


Hey there lovelies, how are you doing this fine Monday afternoon?

I started this blog because I like writing and I wanted to review some items, plus I thought it would be fun.

How many of you are writers like me? How many of you have a hard time figuring out all of the details to your characters?

I’m currently a senior in high school and instead of taking an English 12 or Senior English; I am taking a creative writing class. This past month we have been into character profiles. These lessons have helped me in my personal writing and I thought others would like some help on it too.

Here are the two character profiles:
