Two Train Twist

Hey People, This is another excerpt from my mind....

I saw him looking through the crowd trying to make eye contact but I look away before our eyes meet. I turn my head to the opposite way as I focus on changing the song on my iPod.
"Excuse me, do you have a minute?"
I turn to face him but masking my smile. He was wearing a fitted pair of true religion light colored denim jeans, shades of blue LRG button down shirt with a pair of azure blue air force ones and he smelled like fresh laundry out of the dryer.
"Depends"
"On what might I ask?"
"On what you have to say" I say smiling
"Well, I couldn't help but to come over and introduce myself. I'm Marco." He extended his hand to shake my mine.
"Nice to meet you, Im Ashley."
"So Ash, where are you on your way to, looking gorgeous?" he smiled flashing a dimple.
I was wearing a strapless little black dress, with gold embellished stilettos. I thought I looked good but I loved his compliment.
"Thank you, I'm on my way to a surprise party for a good friend of mi. . ."
"Mommy is this our stop?"
I glanced at Marco's face to see if his expression had changed, it didn't.
"Not yet, DJ, we have three more stops."
"Thats your son?" Marco said in a lower tone moving out of DJ's line of sight.
"Yes, what gave it away?" I said laughing
"Funny! Well son and all, I would love to see you again and get to know you Ash."
"Seems like you know me enough, abbreviating my name and all. But seriously sure you can get to know me."
"I know I'm asking for a lot but would it be possible for me to see you tonight?"
I know I was taking a big risk but since I would be surrounded by my friends I didn't see any harm in inviting him.
"Hmm if you can change into something more fitting for a formal engagement then you are welcomed to join us."
I reached into my bag and gave him my invitation, it had all the information he would need to reach the party and me.
"Oh no doubt, I'll even throw on some shoes for you." He smiled and I melted
"Haha very funny." My stop was approaching, "So I'll see you later?"
"Definitely! I look forward to it."
"DJ, wake up this is our stop" I said bending down to pick up my son.
As I got off the train I tried my best not to look back but I couldn't help it. Marco winked as I waved, damn this was already starting out to be a good night.

Who would had ever thought that my magical meeting of Marco would end with him dead on the living room floor? This is my story. . . or at least, the version Ive rehearsed.

Gut 'em like a Fish

So Last night,
I was harassed by this drunk old man. I really hate taking the 2 train home, but thats the train I need so I have no choice but to deal with it, but I HATE IT!! Anyway, Im sitting across from him and he is feeling on himself. No Im not talking about him having an itch, he was damn there playing with this pee pee while it was in his pants. So now he is looking at me with lust in his eyes, so I said to him, play with me if you want to and I'll Gut you like a fish. He stops for a few stops but then he starts that sh!t up again! So I show his the butt of my "friend" in my bag, then I wink my eye. The old man had the nerve to lick his lips, so I was like eff it, Imma kill this man on the train. I doubted if anyone would testify again me since he was a pervert, he is prolly on the WATCHDOG list. So anyway I ended up moving my seat because I didnt want him to "accidentally" show his pee pee and then I would really Set It off on the train. So luckily he gets off the next stop, but not before he turns and looks my way. I just smirked and flipped him two birds (my middle finger). I hope I dont run into him again, or else I will put a hot one in his as$. ~Jonez

I only need a handful

Hey people,

So yesterday I was getting sick at work, comes to find out I have strep throat. It's one of the worst feelings ever!! Everytime I eat or drink I brace myself because when I swallow, my throat burns. Today it isn't as bad but yesterday I wanted to cry while drinking my peppermint tea. So today my friends are calling to see if I feel any better and even volunteering to go with me to the emergency room (Whad up Mo) I realized I have the greatest friends in the world. No seriously, they have been there when I was ready to give up and throw in the towel. They've been there when I was standing still and it seemed like nothing I did mattered. When I get big headed my friends make sure to keep me in check. When I forget what my mother might have said or done my friends remind me. When I need a proofreader or a new posting topic, y'all are right there. Since my family has disowned me they have welcomed me with open arms and made me feel more loved than ever before. My success is their success and vice versa. We support each other at all times and personally they are the best things that couldve happened to me. So friends I want to thank you for rocking with me from day one. You all are most times the center of my inspirations.

P.S. Benz's and Range Rovers on me, I got you!

Jonez you're wrong

Dear Jonez,

I just finished reading the posting "Choice vs Life" and I think I feel a certain type of way about it. I'm unable to have kids and I'm sick of these girls having abortions. I don't understand why it's so hard for them to practice safe sex. Making your partner use condoms is really not hard but I don't think these girls are even speaking up. But then when they pop up pregnant, they are soo surprised! I'm so sick of the clinic being their personal form of birth control. If you wasn't ready to give birth then make him strap it up!! I don't know what upsets me more, the fact that I can't have kids or the fact that they are so willing to throw theirs away. A few weeks ago I had to do everything in my power to keep from exploding when I found out my bestfriend had an abortion. She has known for years how badly I've wanted a child but yet she still went and aborted. I couldve raised, loved and taken care of that child, but instead she chose to think of herself. I've gotten over the initial shock of her actions but I'm not sure I can remain her friend.
-Bad friend forever?

Dear Bff,

I'm so sorry that you can't have children and yes you are entitled to feel how you feel. We aren't always going to agree with our friends decisions however as friends we should put our feelings aside and be there for them. Do you know why she got an abortion? Or are you assuming it was because she didn't want it? Your friend couldve done what she thought was her only choice, whatever the case, as her friend she needs your support. So bff for the time being, be the support system she desperately needs right now.

Whos Gonna Save My Soul? - Gnarls Barkley I got some bad news this morning
Which in turn made my day
When this someone spoke I listened
All of a sudden, has less and less to say
Ohhhhhh how could this be?
All this time, I've lived vicariously
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
How will my story ever be tollllld now?
How will my story be tollllld now?

Made me feel like somebody
Hmmm, like somebody else
Although he was imitated often
It felt like I was bein myself
Is it a shame that someone else's song
Was totally and completely dependant on
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
I wonder if I'll live to grow old now
Gettin high cause I feel so lowwwww down

And maybe it's a little selfish
All I have is the memory
Yet I never stopped to wonder-ahhhhh
Was it possible you were hurtin worse than me
Still my hunger turns to greeeeed
Cause what about what I neeeeeed?!
And OHHHH~! Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now
Ohhhh I know I'm out of control now
Oooh-oooh, tired enough to lay my own soul down

Last Night

I had a crazy dream this morning. I have a relative that lives in Peekskill,Ny so I took the metro north up there. I guess since my family has been ignoring my calls I decided to visit. Anyway I took a cab from the train. It looked like the whole house was being renovated so I was looking for the front entrance. Two dogs came from around the back yard, playing each other not paying me any attention. Finally my "aunt B" and her husband came from around the back as well. I called her name, she turned around but looked extremely surprised. I got closer so she could know who was about to chew her out. She subtly reach to give me a hug but I took a step back.

I told her what she was doing was wrong and she needed to make better decisions. I told her, my mother would be extremely disgusted with the way things was going with my niece. My aunt started to cry but I felt no sympothy for her because she knew I was right. To my surprise my niece appeared and instantly gave me a hug. She's a softy so I knew she wouldn't be able to hold tears back if she saw my "aunt" crying. I went on to tell my "aunt" that because of the respect I had for my mother I wouldn't disrespect her but I no longer felt anything towards the aunt that I once loved so much. When I saw her husband and son walking towards us, I threw my hoodie over my head and walked away.

The dream felt so damn real! I felt the wind, I heard the dogs barking and running through the grass. I saw the hurt and pain in my niece eyes. I saw she only wanted to be loved and understood. She wanted to live life as a teenager and to not have to deal with the bullshit of her family. I feel so helpless!! I want to do all that I can for her but with the type of schedule I have, it's hard to be as stable as I would need to be for her. I would be delighted if she could live with me but I'm between cities myself. I pray that my mother would give me the insight on what to do but as of today I haven't heard anything. I wish my mother was here, if she was sh!t would not be like this.

The Rules of Attraction pt. 2

So I'm back,

Men, women DO NOT like to be stared at, EVER! We are not foreign objects to be gawked at. If you find her attractive go over and speak to her. It's highly upsetting as well. Tonight I was on the train and instead of this man talking to this pretty girl, him and his friend opts to stare and talk about her. All I could do was shake my head, to me that was a loserish thing to do. This all goes back to the first rules of attraction (See 5*20*09) the advice I posted really works so USE IT!

City of Angels.

I sooooo want to move to Los Angeles. I've tried to push that idea out of my mind, Ive put more effort into loving New York. Im trying to make the best of here, but I cant get LA out of my mind. ARGGHHH, sometimes I feel like its tooo late in the game for me to be testing new things and failing at something and starting out all over again. I want to be successful (who doesn't) but sometimes I can get lazy. I get so relaxed with the routine that I have but Im not 110% happy with it. At the end of the day I just want to write. PERIOD! I love the vibe in LA, its the exact place that I would like to be. Its like everybody there is grinding to put themselves in a better position. ARGH how much I love that city and I've only been there once. I definitely have to move there, look out for me.

Long Distance Done.

As you all know (or maybe not), I've been "dating" VA for a few months. Things has been going alright, nothing spectacular, but he seemed to be a cool friend... until a few weeks ago. Its like he has been getting on my nerves, and I really just dont want to be bothered. NBA bound or not, he can kick rocks. (Shaking my head) I think the straw broke the camels back when we had a discussion about the debate of the day 5*19*09, and he kept saying

1. Well that's your opinion.
MY RESPONSE: Of course, its my opinion, Im the one frigging talking.
2. Your giving out bad advice
MY RESPONSE: Its advice. Most times people are going to do what the hell they want anyway. The advice I give is just another view to look at the solution of a problem.
3. You always have your guard up! You always think Im doing something shady!
MY RESPONSE: My guard is going to be up since I just got out of a relationship, where I was cheated on and Lied to. I didnt always think he was doing something shady but if the shoe fits...
4. You want me to be 100% Real, but then when I am, you get upset.
MY RESPONSE: Yes I want someone to be 110% real, however I also want someone who knows WHEN TO SHUT THE FUKC UP! There is always the time to say what needs to be said, its extremely important, when dealing with Jonez, to know the difference.

So Ultimately, Im done with the friendship because its not going anywhere. Dont get me wrong, I think he is extremely handsome, intelligent, ambitious and funny however he isnt the right one for me. And since I've adopted this "ZERO BULLSH!T" motto, I have to dead it. But I definitely wish VA the very best that life has to offer.

Karma is a Biatch named . . .

Dear Tristan Jonez,
I've been dating my girlfriend for 6 yrs but in that time she has cheated on me with 3 different men and I've stayed through all of that. I've watched her two boys grow up and I don't want them to feel abandoned If I leave but I'm tired of feeling manipulated and disrespected. What now?

-Sucka for Love

Dear SUL,
You need to focus on yourself first. It may sound selfish but if you are not happy how can you make someone else happy? Its obvious that this woman doesn't care or even respects you or the relationship so don't force something that isn't there. I understand it can be hard to break away from the kids since you are attached but that needs to be done! If its possible to still see them and interact with them, then go for it. However depending on the kids ages they can become confused about your new relationship with them that doesn't include their mother. A great way to approach the children would be to just be honest. Let them know that even though their mother and you aren't friends anymore, you still love them and you will always be there for them. In the long run, if you was a good man, the mother might even run back to you. And if that happens, examine the situation from all sides before you jump back into bed with the devil.

Choice vs Life

As some of you may know, I was pregnant last year (what everyone believed was a girl) I had a missed abortion. It means my baby aborted itself while in my stomach but never miscarried. I lost my baby at 8 weeks but for whatever reason it stayed attached to me. I didn't find out until I was about 16 weeks when the doctors tried to hear a heartbeat and didn't. I got a sonogram but I knew something was wrong when the technician called in the doctor. Of all my doctors appt this was the only one that my ex boyfriend went to and I was so grateful for him. Bob was so extremely supportive and as understanding as he could possibly be. I remember coming home from the hospital and crying to sleep and waking up and everything associated with the baby was put away.

When I first told my family, I was pregnant, they took it like was bad news but I knew in my heart that could never be bad news! My sibling took it upon herself to tell the rest of the family even though it was my news to tell. However it didn't matter couldn't no one make me abort, even before my baby was born, it was loved. Even though I never had an abortion I do believe in a womans right to choose. It shouldn't be anyones decision besides the female, especially the governments decision. I've always said I would rather someone to abort than to have it and throw it in the trash. The vibe in an abortion clinic is so somber, almost as if you can feel the pain in the other room. As I wait in the waiting room, I wish I could be inside to comfort and soothe. I look around to only find mothers, boyfriends, best friends, sisters, husbands all here to support and be the backbone these women need right now. My heart really goes out to all involved.

The Rules of Attraction pt. 1

So people,
The #1 question I get asked is Trist how do I approach someone or how can I make them approach me? Well first you have to look approachable. I'm guilty of having that scowl look on my face while walking thru the streets of NYC & LA however it's isn't about ME! Who wants to approach another person only to have them reject you? NOBODY! So there has to be some kind of signal to let the other person know they have the green light, so what about a smile? It's the easiest as well as the most discreet action. Another one that works is eye contact however when done in conjunction with the smile, it produces results.

Also ladies, do NOT be afraid to take charge and approach a man. Sometimes you see something that catches your eye, so go for it. I had a guy tell me once, even if he isn't initially attracted to a female the fact that she was confident enough to approach him, makes him want to at least see what she is about. I've never had a problem and maybe that in itself is a problem but oh well! One more tip, its practical and yet simple. If you are in close corners, i.e Subway train, greet them with a salutation. Good Morning (Depending on the time of day) is the best conversation starter on the planet! You can easily slide into; How are you doing?, you can even introduce yourself after their response. This also gives you some time to see if you even want to get to know them further. If so, be sure to exchange numbers. If not then tell them have a nice day before you exit the train.

The Cookie isn't free or is it?

So my homegirl Sen and I was having a conversation about whether or not a man should directly or indirectly pay for a females company. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about prostitution. I'm talking about if you cook dinner for him three times a week, he should pay for the groceries and in my case wash dishes. Or you two go out to a formal affair, he should pay for the tickets or the dress. It's not that I have anything against independent woman (I am one) but you need to start letting a man be the man in the relationship. If you are Always paying for dinner or Always deciding what activities your going to partake in, he may feel as though you don't need him. If a man feels unneeded, then eventually he's going to leave your ass and find a woman who makes him feel needed.

Yes men love a woman who can take care of herself and does her thing but he wants to be the knight that sweeps you off your feet. WOMEN, let him be that knight. Allow him to pay for dinner, allow him to take you on trips, allow him to do the little things for you, especially if he knows you can afford to do all these things for yourself. It takes time and money to keep your hair done, nails done, dressing fabulous, and all the other steps that you take for a night on the town so is it so far fetched that a man should foot the bill for that night out. I agree there isn't a price on your cookie, cuz mine is priceless however you as women should know your worth. I really do believe that a man will only do what you allow him to so stop short changing yourself. You especially can't get mad at them for taking advantage of you, when you let them roam free doing whatever they would like to do. If you know you aren't ready for a sexual relationship stop letting these men talk you into letting him into your panties. PERIOD!!

If he don't want to play by your rules, then drop him, there are many more fish in the sea. I am tired of hearing my friends complain about this guy who doesn't want a relationship but yet your still sleeping with him. He will never want a relationship because he knows he can do the bare minimal for you and your willing to accept that. A sexual relationship with no strings attached, is NOT for everyone. Most people cant handle that type of friendship because feelings get attached. It's a proven fact that someone will want more and it's not always the females!! For example, my friend Candy* was just having fun with Stephen* which included sleeping with him. This went on for a few years, she never made a commitment to him, in fact she would only really call him when she was in between relationships or when she needed a tune up. Anyway Stephen caught feelings early on and when he told Candy she slowly started to cut ties with him because she didn't want more. She was happy with their arrangement as is.

My point is you have to choose the arrangement that's best for you. I'll give one more example, After my recent break up, I started talking to a guy I worked with. After talking to him for a few weeks, I realized I liked him, he was a cool dude, attractive, smart, etc but he at first led me to believe he wanted a relationship with me. I knew I wasn't ready for one so I kept it platonic. A few weeks later, He suggested we could be "bed buddies", at first I thought I would be able to handle that but I ultimately declined because I knew I would eventually want more than that and he didn't want to give me more than sex. Am I happy with the decision I made? Hell Yes, later I realized all dude was, was an attractive face. Ladies ultimately its up to you to know your worth and to not let a man dictate what your worth should be.

Am I old? Seriously?

Hey Mi People, Yesterday while I chilled with my 16 yr old niece, Essey May, I realized I'm really old. She directed to this myspace page basically calling out all of these Harlem teenagers. As I was reading the page, I had a really hard time trying to understand the lingo. I even found myself saying to her "Is it really uncool to use proper English?" She even suggested that I stop reading out loud since I was making too many mistakes. I would like to think I know what's going on with the younger generation but I really don't. I now understand how older generations feel about my generation except I'm willing to take the time to grasp what it is they are trying to say. No I don't always agree with how they express themselves but I respect it because it's their own form of expression. Me being who I am, how can I say how someone should express themselves? I really don't agree with the purposely misspelling of words at all, however I don't have a problem as long as when it comes to writing correctly in a formal setting they have the ability to do so. It was just funny because just the other day I was explaining to my mother was a chicken head was and now my niece is explaining to me what a joint is. History really does have a way of repeating itself. ~jonez

I was sooooooo happy, I sort of even scared my niece. It was weird seeing something that I've put such hard work into, just a few strokes away from everyone's reach. Not only did my blog come up but the interview I recently did with whohub.com also came up in my search. I know I'm still a long way before I'm really being googled but it was just nice knowing that I'm able to pop up on screens everywhere. Look for me on a computer screen near you.

Help Never Comes

Excerpt from my Mind, Maybe a future novel...
What do you do when your too scared to go home? What happens when there isn't any one you can turn to? What's the next move when you are already cornered? I ask myself these questions everyday coming home from school. School is my outlet, my temporary form of escape. I'm due at home promptly at 3:45 sharp and not a minute late. I wish I could run away but I'm only 14, with no permanent destination in sight. Im scared of leaving and being found again, lord knows what will happen to me then. Its hard to deal with most nights but I manage. Some nights are better than others but there are the times when I'm holding on for dear life. I want to show the scars instead of hiding behind makeup. Make the world see my type of ugly. I hold my tears back, refusing to let her get satisfaction from her evil deeds. No more wishing, only praying that she stops. Standing in front of the door contemplating to finally run, but now I cant move. Trying to talk, but lost for all the words. I can't walk away and risk the same thing happening to my little sister. I scream "Help! Somebody please, Help me!" I run out, trying to get someones attention but nobody stops for me. I scream as loud as I can "Please Somebody, I need help save me!" Still Im invisible. I refuse to cry and don't think I could even I wanted to. No body's coming, not for me anyway. Little black girl in the hood, help never comes for me.

Invisible

I was listening to Jennifer Hudson's cd a few weeks ago and when I listened to 'invisible' I felt like this song was made for me. After my mother died, I felt like I couldn't win for trying. Eveything I did, wasnt the right thing. It wasnt until I started making decisions for myself and exploring for myself that things became a little more clearer. No not every decision I made turned out to be the best thing but I had to learn for myself what worked and didnt work. I highlighted some of the lines that stood out the most. Enjoy! ~Jonez

Seems like I’m not here
It’s like I don’t mean nothing
Like glass unclear
Almost like you can see straight through me
I got questions but no answers
So tired of being confused and I
Don’t wanna stay right here and I
Gotta find my wings and fly

I gotta find me another way
Cause I don’t wanna stay another day
Time for a change in my mind
I’v opened my eyes I’m changing my life
And now I’m gonna live my life for me
Cause this aint how it’s supposed to be
No more standing in the back of the line
Cause I’m Invisible for the last time

Why can’t you see me
Do I really even matter
You changed me completely
And I remember how it used to be
I got question what’s the lesson
This can’t be it for me
This can’t be all I’m made for
And all my time wasted in this life
It’s my time to shine
No more feeling insufficient
I’m gonna make my own decisions
It don’t matter what you can or cannot see
I’m doing this for me

Compliments to the Cook

Hey People,
Last night I Cooked!! I know right, it has been a while since I was in the kitchen making anything more than a hot fudge sunday. I was tired of spending a bunch of money ordering takeout at work, that was only going to make me sick later on. I went to the supermarket and spent 10.83$, If I hadnt feed the folks I did, the food would have last me at least three days. Anyway, I cooked grilled & fried chicken, perfect yellow rice and sweet black eyed peas. It was soooo good, even I was licking my bowl clean. Its been so long since I cooked anything that I forgot how good of a (chef) I really am. Maybe next time I cook, you all (my readers) can come over and partake.

Re: Relatively Related

I needed some time to think of a proper response to your question. It really depends on the type of friendship you and your bff have, however I think you should speak to him first. No, your not asking for permission, but by coming to him, your showing great consideration for his feelings. Besides he'd rather hear it from you, than some random friend. I believe as long as you keep both friendships separate then everything should (Key Word, SHOULD) work out just fine. Things might become complicated depending on the situations you and his brother go through. For example, If you two were dating and then broke up, he might feel obligated to take his brother's side. If you dont see the friendship turning into a relationship, or even just something long term, I think it'll be a better idea to just remain friends because it could do serious damage to the friendship with your bff. FOE, you just have to decide which would you prefer, possible love or definite friendship?

Relatively Related

Dear Jonez,
Ive been practicing being self reliant (Single) for a few months but I think I found someone who I would like to spend more time. I've known him for some time, and there was a mutual attraction however at the time we were both in relationships at the time. Its now about a year later, we are both single and the feelings are still there. Im in no rush to be tied into a commitment with someone but I do like the way things are going. There is also a minor detail that keeps me from letting him know more about me, his brother and I are really good friends. I dont want to jeopardize our friendship by dating his younger brother, thats why I havent completely disclosed our budding relationship to him. Any suggestions? ~Friends over Everything

My response up Next...

Liar Liar

Hey Jonez,
Help, I have a dilemma!! Recently I was approached by my supervisor that I had disrespected another employee (a permanent employee) which is very true. It was brought to my attention that I informed the other employees NOT to complete the work while there was down time. It didnt bother me about what the permanent employee said (he is known to embelish stories) what bothered me was the supervisor believed what was said instead of asking me what happened. I made a suggestion and HE ran with it, he wanted to go home moreso that I did. And he made that fact well known. What kills me even more is that I bust my ass doing whatever needs to be done at work so for her to come at me the way she did was wrong, but FUKC it, what can I do? - Fired Soon

Dear FS,
Im sorry that things arent going well at your job, sometimes people want to cover their own asses before all else, and maybe thats whats going on in this case. Just listen to what your supervisor say, dont even try to explain your side because its obvious she isnt going to listen, just let it go. From here on out, cease all communication with the permanent employee because thats a dead end road. Just come to work and do what you have to then leave. If you continue to be the best at what you do, theres nothing else left to be said.

Loose Change

I know its a recession but I do not like for stores to try and cheat me out of my money. I went to the grocery store today to buy my favorite drink, an aloe water (Peach Flavor). I've been going to this store since I moved to the upper west side, so for a little over a month now and my drink only cost $1.50. So I go to pay and the clerk is like its $1.75 and Im like since when?? I went on to say I just brought this yesterday and I paid $1.50, so when did the price go up? He (the Clerk) tells me the price went up last week which is A BOLD FACE LIE!! I was so irritate that I began to argue with him, I explained that that was a lie. He just looked at me, so I threw the beverage across the counter, told him FUKC that and I'll be going to the other store across the street where they dont cheat their customers out of money. I surely did walk to the store across the street and I paid $1.49 for the aloe water. I didnt have a problem paying $1.75 if he had been honest and said the prices had went up that day. So instead of losing out on .25$ he lost out on $1.50. And I refuse to go there for future purchases. ~Jonez

WhoHub

Hola Mi Amigos!,
I know Im sooo late with posting up my interview with Whohub.com but here are some excerpt from the interview.

WHOHUB: Deep down inside, who do you write for?
TRISTAN J: Hmm I think deep down inside I write for my mom. My mother inspired me to dream big and put my all into whatever I do. She died before she could see me reach any of my long term goals but I think she would be very happy with the ventures Im involved with.

WHOHUB: Do you write on a computer? Do you print frequently? Do you correct on paper? What is your process?
TRISTAN J: I used to write on my laptop non stop... until It CRASHED!!! Its so much easier for me to type, change my mind and retype than it is to write on paper. I print somewhat a lot but only because it makes my work feel more real when I can hold it in my hand. I do a lot of corrections and rewording on paper, I even use a red pen!

WHOHUB: What is required for a character to be believable? How do you create yours?
TRISTAN J: I believe your readers have to be able to relate to your characters. I usually think about friends I have or people I've known and incorporate their characteristics into the type of the characters I want to create.
