Lizzie's 30 Day Character Development: Days 1 & 2

As I promised, here are the first two days for Lizzie's 30 Day Character Development! Or rather Lizzie's 30DCD for short. I'll be using that in the title from now on as well. I've already given the link to the original but here it is again if you'd like to see the days ahead of time. All of the questions answered below will be located on the page specifically about Lizzie. Just go to "Characters of Found" which is located right under "Home," then click on Lizzie's name and it'll send you right to it! Or just click here if you'd rather~ I hope you all enjoy reading the first two days and I'll be updating her page as well if you'd like to check that out.

Day 2:
How do they usually dress? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear jewelry?
Lizzie loves to wear sweaters or even flannel jackets with the sleeves rolled up. Although she doesn't mind wearing skirts or dresses, she would prefer skinny jeans or shorts. While she does like v necks, she also really loves flowy blouses and crop tops.
For sleepwear, she likes using oversized sweaters or t-shirts that belonged to her father.
Aside from wearing studded earrings, she also likes to wear a few bracelets on her left wrist and also a silver locket with a picture of her parents in it that she got from Juni.
Is there anything about their appearance they wish they could change?
The only time Lizzie ever wanted to change something was when she had her wires and her braces. But if she did have to choose a few things now it would probably to have her collarbones and hip bones show less. Although she is a healthy weight for her size, she does wish to be a little more curvy since she feels like she's a bit lanky.
How would they look as the opposite sex?
I picture male Lizzie as kinda dorky looking actually. Just a bit taller than her around 5'8" and still lanky but with a good amount of muscle mass. He would likely look very hipster esque but wear fake nerd glasses.
What do they smell like? Why (do they wear the scent or does it occur naturally)?
Lizzie usually smells like vanilla or roses. Because roses grow in their yard, Juni would bring in freshly cut roses and just put them all over the house. So being around so many sweet smelling roses, she usually would end up smelling like them. Vanilla is because she just really likes the sweet but subtle smell of it!
Do they have an accurate mental picture of their appearance (how they see themselves versus how the world sees them)?
Lizzie likes to see herself as a dedicated person who likes to help others especially if they're her friends. Most people tend to see Lizzie as popular in the sequel but she herself doesn't feel that she is or the desire to be. I won't say more because more will be revealed in the sequel!

Apology! & Book Reading?

Hi there everyone! How are you all? I'm so so so sorry for not posting for over a month here. I had become very busy and had not find any time to post. Other than that I really had no idea what to post. I know I said I'd post the Character Development for Lizzie but really bad writers block hit me and I wasn't able to get past doing the first day.

You'll be happy to know that I actually have started working on it again and I'm a few days in! So I'll be posting the first day in a couple of days or so. So sorry again for lagging on that because I was really excited to post them. Any who, back to the second part of the title!

I have recently gone to the Hanapepe Library and told them that I had written I book. They will be given a copy (signed, even~) to be available to borrow at the library. Also, I'll have to schedule a book reading with them! I'll be able to use the annex and I'm really excited about having my first book reading. But that's where I need a bit of your help.

If and when I do have my reading, I was wondering what specifically people would want me to do. I'd of course sign books and answer a few questions with a short Q & A session. Other than that, I was thinking of reading parts of the book but I would need to know what I should read. My problem is that I wouldn't want to read a part of the book that reveals spoilers to people that haven't read it or reached that part yet.

So, dear reader, I would greatly appreciate and love that you comment below what you'd like to hear me read. Here's an example of how to comment: Please read pages 9 - 10 starting from "With a shaking fist," and ending with "I decided it was both."

Just keep in mind that I'll choose the ones I think would be okay to read and also ones that aren't very long. But really your input would be so great to have since the book reading itself is really for fans of the book! I'm excited to do this not only for myself but for all of you out there, so I hope once I decide the date that you can make it out!

Until next time lovely readers~
