Aaron Finder

Recently, my head has been filled with the character Aaron Finder. I have heard it said before that an author lives through their character and can feel their emotions, and I have proved it to myself yet again by creating this character. Whenever I conjure up emotions to write about them, I find I am suddenly feeling the emotions in a very real way and am left angry for no apparent reason except that Aaron is in my story, or lonely because Aaron is.

I still hate the last name Finder, but I simply adore the character. I said in my last blog entry that I had no inspiration. But, I have started a children's series of somewhat-fantasy, starring Aaron Finder who is trying to find his Dad (hense why I don't like the name Finder - cause he is a finder, in a sense :S it's a bit lame... and unintentional)

Anyway, I have been fully immersed in the story in a way that I haven't been for a very long time. Plus, if I have been successfully chosen to be a state winner in the Somorset Competition, I shall be hearing so in the next week - but if I was a successfully short-listed or didn't do well at all, I shall be hearing the week after. Fingers crossed!!! Once I hear how I have done in this competition, I shall finally take action towards sending this new book to a publisher (after finishing and editing etc of course)

Meanwhile, my site elizabethdanara.mysite.com is having a bit of a re-vamp. I designed advertisements for it about a whole year ago, and have decided to finally start advertising it.

I shall write again soon after I hear news on the competition...
