I really like the avatar you use on Twitter (and I did think it was you until I met you on Facebook!). I have a scrapbook with photos of characters cut out of magazines-it really helps to have an idea of what the characters look like. I'm still trying to work out how to make the characters in Book 2 different from Book 1-can the hero still have blue eyes?!Anita Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643609708390860371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-64413665873387020012012-08-30T09:48:58.153+01:002012-08-30T09:48:58.153+01:00I'm a visual person so I love photos, Anita - ...I'm a visual person so I love photos, Anita - yours are great.

I use photos etc when writing. I'll cut out a picture of someone who reminds me of a character, and pin them up. My ebook cover was a model, who epitomised Annie, my heroine - blonde, slightly aloof and sarky. I use her as my avatar on Twitter. A few people think she actually IS me. Oh, I wish!!

I didn't have a full photo of the Ponte Vecchio (what was I thinking not taking one?!), so I found one on Pinterest and added it to my board. I keep forgetting to take my camera when I go to London-went last Saturday and was cross with myself!Anita Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643609708390860371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837881372529525579.post-10502953345315411472012-08-29T21:17:08.453+01:002012-08-29T21:17:08.453+01:00Hi Anita,

My first ...Lovely photos Anita, and a great idea. <br /><br />My first book was set here in New Zealand and so it was relatively easy to visit the different settings, although one was in South Island, and I took photos for that. My second novel was set in London, and so on a couple of visits (over a few years) I made copious notes of underground/bus/taxi trips, parks and residential areas, but not so many photos.<br /><br />I'll have to use more photos in future as they also help to bring back memories of the event or day.Shaunahttp://www.shaunabickley.comnoreply@blogger.com
