​“If you’re going to sleep this close to me, can you at least turn off your brain?” Ashley flopped onto her back and nearly caught Sawyer in the face. She didn’t apologize for it. She wasn’t going to apologize for anything. She couldn’t believe he’d dragged her back here. Couldn’t believe he hadn’t let her go. So much for her big plan that relied on his wanting her to be safe.

“I’m thinking.”

“No kidding. I can hear the wheels grinding.” She stared up at the ceiling.

“Get some sleep, Ashley.”

She recognized that tone. He was just about at the end of his rope with her. The resignation. The frustration. It was a tone she’d elicited frequently over the years. From her ex-husband especially. “What are you thinking about?”

“Right now? I’m considering locking you in the bathroom so I can figure stuff out.”

She smirked, rolled onto her side and looked at him. Even in the darkness he was a striking figure. In other circumstances she’d have considered him attractive. She didn’t have vast experience when it came to men, she admitted. And her sex life with Adam for the few years they were married had been...adequate. Not adequate enough for him, given he had cheated on her. A lot. So yeah, maybe when it came to men her judgment was a bit off.

That didn’t mean she couldn’t appreciate Lucky—no, Sawyer—from his shaggy, too-long brown hair, to his tight, toned, tattooed body, to his complicated character. Wow, she was starting to lose all common sense, wasn’t she? She tucked her hands under her cheek. “What are you really thinking about?”

“This might have escaped your notice, but this is not a slumber party and I am not a twelve-year-old girl.”

Oh, she knew. Especially the last bit. “Back in the woods. When you held me close. I assume that was to throw Badger off the scent?”

“Clearly it didn’t work.”

“You wanted Badger to think we’d gone out there for something other than to look at the lake?”

“No one thought we were looking at the lake.” He turned his head, his hair rustling on the pillow. Even in the darkness, she knew he was looking at her.

“If Badger had heard me guess about your brother, he’d have done something about it right then and there. You understand me, Ashley?”

She swallowed hard. He was right, of course. “Jack can help you, Lu—Sawyer,” she corrected quickly. “I promise he’ll listen to me. If you help me, I’ll tell him. He can get you a reduced sentence.” The urge to touch him overwhelmed her and she reached out and laid a gentle hand on his chest.

“He’d talk to the judge. Or the DA. I know one in the Sacramento office. Simone would listen to me, too. You don’t have to stay with Valeri. There’s another way.”

While still looking at her, he lifted a hand and covered hers. “There’s not another way for me, Ashley. I’m where I am because I chose it. And while I appreciate the offer of leniency, you can’t promise anything. Because of me, a prison guard is dead. Whatever happens down the road, I’m in for life. And you need to stop seeing me as if I’m some misunderstood victim who is worthy of redemption. I’m not.”

“Everyone’s worthy of—Well, maybe not everyone.” She brushed a hand over his forehead. “I’m sorry I hurt you.”

He took her hand away. “Don’t.”

“Don’t what? Don’t touch you?” But she wanted to. In the worst way. She didn’t even care if it was wrong.

“Don’t go making me out to be something I’m not. I’m not a knight on a white horse. I am not a good man. No matter how much you want to pretend.”

How do you "flesh out" your characters?

Reply
Anna J Stewart link

Hi, Judy. As I don't tend to plot, a lot of their "fleshing out" comes from writing the story. But I do some character prep ahead of time by deciding what type of heroic archetype they are (hero and heroine). I do this using The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines by Tami Cowden and others. It just gives me a base start. I also use Melinda Curtis's CREATING UNFORGETABLE CHARACTERS, which has a more phycological bend. It helps me identify their emotional wounds (that help distinguish how the act and react to situations, especially re: conflict). And I also use some astrology references to give me idea for character quirks, likes and dislikes. All of that together gives me a good launch point for starting with them. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by.
