(If you’ve already read this then skip past all the italicized blah-di-blah and start writing.) Monday Moments are writing prompts for your work-in-progress. They are questions that come from my experiences and are my favorite way to find out more about my characters. I find I learn a lot. Some of it I use. Some of it I don’t. But I always, always get to know my character(s) better just by answering the question. I hope you do too. )I'm a sucker for cake. Actually anything with frosting. Cookie, cupcake, cake...if it's covered in frosting, I can't resist.
Fresh off my birthday has me thinking about cake. About how as we get older we settle into our favorite and tend to have a certain "kind" for our special day. I'm fairly certainly this doesn't just apply to my family and friends. You too, right?
Me? I'm Angel Food with Seven-minute (never-fail frosting).My dad: Cheese Cake
My mom: Chocolate on Chocolate
My brother: Chocolate with Brown Sugar frosting
My daughers: still working it out
I'm sure each of those cakes speaks a bit about who we are (each certainly would in a novel, right?). I'm mean, I'm Angel Food with seven-minute frosting, angelic and sweet at to my core. :)
How about your main character? What's their favorite cake and what does it say about who they are?

For me it's yellow cake with buttercream frosting and a steaming cup of coffee...umm!
As far as my characters, all my protagonists love the same as me and all the "bad, evil" antagonists like devil's food with chocolate frosting and a glass of milk.
MMMMmmmm.... dark chocolate cake w/seven-minute icing!
