My Triplet Ballerinas…Characteristics

My triplet ballerinas are my triplet grand-daughters, Makenna, Jaeli and Maysie.

One of the things you have to do when writing a story is give character traits (words used to describe a person) to your characters. For my first blog post of “My Triplet Ballerinas”, I decided to compare the character traits I gave to my “pretend” triplet ballerinas to the ones of their counterparts, my own triplet ballerinas.

“Annie” is spirited and fearless. She is very confident in her abilities. I have a feeling she might be bossy too! Makenna is intelligent (she is very smart and studious) and creative (her drawings and ideas are so good). She is always curious (wanting to know about everything). She can be stubborn (at times), but she is always helpful (whenever she sees someone in need, she will help them without being asked).  

“Julie” is determined and hardworking. I think she can be self-critical, but never critical of her sisters. She might be a bit of a perfectionist too! Jaeli can also be self-critical at times. She could also be described as being shy (something she struggles with especially in making friends). She loves to read so solitary might be a word to describe her. Some other words to describe her would be: loving, sensitive and hopeful.

“Macie” is shy and timid. She is also uncertain, but hopeful. She is definitely a follower, not a leader! Maysie is very imaginative (she is always coming up with great ideas like writing a story!). She is the spirited and fearless triplet. Some other words to describe her would be: kind-hearted and fashionable (she loves to “dress up”).

The Triplet Ballerinas

Welcome to my website and thank you for checking out my blog. After “The Triplet Ballerina” releases on January 8th, I will start posting in My Blog once a week. The first week of every month, I am planning on posting about “My Triplet Ballerinas…”. This will be stories about my own triplet grand-daughters. The second week, I am planning on posting about “My Journey…”. This may be my journey to writing my children’s book, my journey in researching my story or even my journey to self-publishing. The third week, I am planning on a guest blogger of triplet girls sharing their own stories of “My Triplet Ballerinas…”. I am not sure about the posts for the last week of the month yet. It may be about “My Thoughts…” or “My Life…” or I may go in a whole new direction…. Beverly
