Funny. This spring when I was bored with waiting on queries, I did Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire for my MC.

Ever search your character's names on Facebook? That's a real kicker. None of my names are as original as I thought. :/

Okay, I'll play. And I did actually find her name on Facebook a long time ago, after I'd written it all out in first draft.
Name: Caroline Desmarais Age: 45 Gender: Female Location: Normandie, France. Favorite TV Shows: Detective shows. Sex and the city. But she doesn't watch TV very much. Favorite Movies: Gone with the wind. The scarlet letter. Little women. Any of the old classical kind. And horror films. Favorite Books: She hasn't read anything since she left college, she was always too busy being a society girl and then writing her own novels, which are erotica btw. Quote: A good fist is worth a thousand words.

Even though most of my characters are in the right age bracket to be on facebook, I simply can't imagine them doing it. They're too busy doing other things.

I do declare that my character is nearly old enough to be everyone else's characters mother. I believe I'll have a niche market for beautiful middle-aged woman.
