Dear M,
Star Signs was the topic that came up a few days ago when I was chatting with friends. Inevitably, the conversation turned funny and interesting, as we compared the "pre-defined" star sign characteristics of each of us to our own behavioural patterns.
As I had mentioned once before, character development is one topic (among a million others) that has always intrigued and baffled me. So any new thought that arises around this would excite me immensely. I found that reading up on star signs was a good place to look for defining our characters. Look at these words that I scrounged from one of those sites:
adventurous
active
outgoing
naive
assertive
independent
romantic
natural leaders
impulsive
love challenges
cool, calm, collected
socialiser
snobby
withdrawn
boring
sensual
curious
mischievous
multi-faceted
And so far I have reached only three star signs. Imagine the cluster of characters hiding inside each of those. Chip and fine tune and polish each one of them and insert them into your story. I think it would be a good exercise to create a person of each star sign just for fun.
Meanwhile, I came across this article which claims that each character of Gone with the Wind is moulded specifically from a star sign, because the author was an astrologer... okay, forget about the true or false of it all, and just read it for the heck of it. And think intriguing thoughts about character development.
Love.
