And the Top Guesses Were...

Guess that Character Blogfest Day 2

~ REVEALED ~

The personality of Scott is based almost entirely on my 8-year-old son Scott, who was 6 when I began writing. He is a third grader in the story. When choosing the winning comments, I went with the ones that fit my son perfectly - 'cause ultimately, he's my MC.

Without posting a photo of the real Scott, here's the best match I could find for how I envision his character in the story:

Scott is wiry with knobby knees that always seem to have patches of ground-in dirt and scrapes from climbing trees. He dresses in shorts and hastily pulled-on t-shirts. He usually has bed hair that sticks out in odd directions unless his mother caught him and combed it down. His nose peels from being outdoors every chance he can get.

Runners Up

I think Scott's looks and personality would be conflicting. He probably looks all sweet and innocent, but inside lies a troublemaker. I'm gonna guess blonde hair, messy, of course, and big ole blue eyes.

Wears whatever he pulls out of his pile of clothes on the floor. His appearance means nothing to him. Loves to play jokes on people and have fun but he gets into trouble with his high spirits.

OMG this sounds like my bratty little brother (well, when he was little). He had golden locks, bright blue eyes and there was always a bit of dirt on his face and hands.

I'd say he's a Dennis the Menace type -- blond, blue-eyed, mischievous kid with freckles and dirt smudged on his cheeks.

I'm picturing a boy of 9 or 10. Jeans and striped t-shirts. Doesn't always wear shoes and can be found exploring any nook and cranny along any path, whether it's a good climbing tree in the woods or a cave off the beach. His hair is sandy blond and mussy. And he has a super sweet smile.

Thanks for all the fun guesses and congrats to the "winners".

Have a great weekend!!
