That sounds like it will totally get you through. Laura Drake always says, "trust your reader - they get it before you think they do!" I think you will never miss the nieces suggestion, especially if the sister-in-law is a bigger character in the book.

Brainstorming sessions are the shiz. 🙂

Hahahaha! Writing into a corner is such a sucky feeling. And of course, when I am in a corner, I ask my husband. He's an excellent "What-Iffer."

I think it would be a blast to do the yearbook exercise with someone else. We could each pick a random person and write their side of the conversation. That would pretty much guarantee two unique voices for the characters.

Great advice from everyone!

The pinterest board is my vision board, and I can remind myself how to describe a dress, or the house, and other things; music is always an inspiration to me; and the notes are essential for character traits or names and just to keep things straight. I'll still search the document if I'm not sure, but it prevents some of it.
