Okay, so much for writing a character profile once a week. T_T I know, I know, I’m very behind. But now I realize that character profiles actually take quite a lot of time to make, especially with the passages. Another reason why they’ve been hard to keep up with is because I don’t go out very much, thus I’m not around very many different people…at least not enough people for me to find at least one person that sticks out to me with a strong personality and is character-profile-worthy.

Thus, I’m going to have to cut back my character profiles to once a month. I’d rather write occasional, exceptional, and well thought-out character profiles rather than frequent, mediocre, and boring ones. I’m also going to add a new bullet to each character profile: Actor/Actress. For this one, I’ll be choosing a certain actor/actress who I believe would represent that character well.

I decided to do this character profile on Sophie, the main character of my first self-published book, Sophie. There’s a link at the bottom where you can purchase the book, read a passage from it, and/or skim a short summary if you wish. Now you may be wondering why I’d do a profile on a character whom I’ve already written about. I’ve got a sequel aka WIP coming up and I think the profile would be helpful for me in maintaining Sophie’s character in the book and make sure that I stay true to her self.

Now that my AP exams are over, I’m finally getting back into my reading mode. This summer, I hope to finish reading The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot and also complete Picking Cotton by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton. The latter is actually for my college’s Summer Reading Program, and I thought participating would be a great way to jumpstart my freshman year. Both books are quite well-known; I will definitely be rating and reviewing them once I finish and, of course, sharing my thoughts here with all of you! If you’ve already read these two books, shh!! Don’t tell me anything! ;)

I don’t think I’ve done any book reviews on my blog before, so this is what this post* is all about. My book reviews aren’t nearly as extensive as my movie reviews; plus, I’d like to keep my posts shorter than before since I realize now that my previous ones tend to be long-winding and very texty! D: Sorry about that. I’ve been blogging for quite a few months now, yet I am still learning everyday what it means to be a good blogger.
