In recent years, I've improved on my characterization and it comes a lot easier now.<br /><br />If I were one of those seven people in that room, I'd notice the lilac but for a different reason than you gave.

When I write, I just jump into the character and become them. <br /><br />That said, these are great tips. If I get stuck, I'm sure they'll come in handy.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.
