2012 Photo Challenge: Week 5

ByKristen Koster

Five weeks into the new year and this project. This week I found I kept putting off taking photos until it was too late and I didn’t have time/energy to make it come out like I wanted. Note to self, that doesn’t work as well. I also thought of a few different types of photographs I’d like to play with in the future that center on lighting like the black and white lamp below. Can I just saw how pleasantly surprised I was by how that one came out?

I don’t usually do a lot of post-processing on my photos, but the clouds didn’t pop like I wanted and the mandolin needed something, anything to see if I could salvage it at that hour. I also figured out the time on my camera was off by an hour, so that’s fixed. I have also been playing with more manual settings, so finding the nice shot that works for me is getting harder. I have to take a few more in order to make sure I get it too.

What you see below are links to my flickr set for the photos I’ll use for this challenge. Click on any photo below to go to flickr and then you can navigate through the set with the “Previous” and “Next” arrows at the top.

KISS

I have been working on the Flower Queen’s Daughter story. I decided I needed to dig deeper and figure out the heroine’s storyline and what her own journey looks like. So far, I detailed conflicts and beats for the first four scenes. My real issue is with keeping things simple and preventing them from becoming…

56 Days Left

ByKristen Koster

I feel like I’ve made progress this week. Not as much as I’d like, but I can say that progress was still made. With 56 days remaining until the end of the year, I have about 52k words left on my Regency Beneath His Touch and figure I’m about 42% of the way done. I’ve…

Character Development & Archetypes

ByKristen Koster

This week for our How I Write series, my accountability group asked, “How do you develop your characters? Do you have a favourite kind/archetype?” We covered part of the idea of character development before and my general method is in the post, Building Characters where I likened it to my daughter’s cosplay outfits. I skimmed…
