So I gave you a snippet yesterday of my protagonist from my new YA ghost story HAUNTED MELODY and asked you to guess what she looked like.
Did anyone guess right? The vast majority of you knocked it out of the park!
Melody is an unassuming beauty with brown hair and rich brown eyes like Rachel Bilson, or Camilla Belle (Margo actually said Camilla Belle!). She's on the short side and has a medium build. And yes, she doesn't realize how pretty she is. She's brainy and a good friend.
There were so many great comments. Diane S.' actually blew me away: "Melody has dark hair with just enough wave to make it shine in the sunlight. Her complexion is fair, and her eyes are blue -- or maybe a brilliant brown.
She has no idea how beautiful she is, because she always hates herself in pictures. No static photo can capture her liveliness, her grace, or her natural, un-posed smile. "
Um, Diane were you looking over my shoulder when I was composing my character sketch?
Thanks for participating everyone and HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Love it. I pictured Clair Danes, but maybe that's not so off.

LOL!! off again!!
(but i was sure i'd get this one wrong!)
Ha, ha! I'd claim I was psychic, except that I was SO WRONG on SO MANY of these! :D
Yes, she makes an awesome Melody. I can totally see her in that scene.
Now that you mention it this pic is perfect for the character. Like this story!
Think I missed this one, too:)
Your choice was sooo much better than mine. Duh! You are the author! :)
I got some of it right. I like that she looks like Rachel Bilson, it really nails it for me. :D
Wow Diane nailed it! And I love melody she seems so sweet!
Beautiful! Your scene was great. Sorry I didn't make it around in time yesterday to read it!
I pictured her hair a tad shorter, but overall not too bad a guess!
Wow, great for for Melody. I was off but I had fun reading your snippet. :)
Now that sounds like a character I wanna read about!
