Meet the Main Characters
Template designed by Amberle Phillips
What I had long before I ever had a plot for this book was these characters. They have remained the driving force for the story as I’ve written draft one and am working on draft two. These two are two of the biggest reasons that I’ve been able to stay so committed to this project; because I love them, because I believe in them, because I want to see them evolve and watch their relationships with other characters grow or implode. These two have such a special place in my heart, and I hope they will in yours once you get to know them, too. But first, I have to introduce them. So here they are: Blaire Days and Ira Stone.
In another blog post planned for a later date, I’ll be discussing what influenced me to start writing this book entirely, but before I ever expanded the story into anything that made sense, I just had these two, begging me to help them express themselves. I started with Blaire and Ira and I did nothing but write short scenes that weren’t about much in particular and had nothing to do with the novel as it exists now. I wanted to build a dynamic between them, watch them interact and fight and work together. It was a type of relationship that I wanted to see, but couldn’t find in many places in media, at least not to the degree of which I was hoping. I realized that I had to create them myself.
Blaire Days is very intelligent, headstrong, and determined. She’s a problem solver. She’s a bit awkward, but she’s also a hopeless romantic and loves romance novels. She loves a puzzle.
Ira Stone is a lover of life, art, and companionship. He’s outgoing, goofy, and animated; he loves to entertain and make people feel welcome. He’s in touch with his emotions and isn’t afraid to demonstrate that.
Thank you so much for following along on this journey with me. The character descriptions are down below, and I hope that you come to love Blaire and Ira just as much as I do.
There will be much more to learn about Blaire and Ira as we get closer to the publishing date. Stay tuned!
