In reply to Jennifer Jensen. This is a great way to use a hobby to create conflict. I could use my own gardening attempts for research...

In reply to Rosi. You could always give your character a desire to garden but also a black thumb - comic relief or showing her perseverance, etc.

In reply to Susan J Berger. That sounds kind of awesome, lol. Well, as long as ~I~ don't have to live there ;)

Actually rented a house once where every plant looked like it belonged in a witch’s garden.

In reply to tracikenworth. This is an area of character development that sometimes we can skimp on, but figuring out a talent or skill that's unique and meaningful to the character's world and their journey is one of the easiest ways to make them feel real and compelling, isn't it?

This is a really neat skill to flesh out a character. I would have to use a lot of imagination, though, since I have a very black thumb. 8-{

I like this. I gave one of my main characters a cooking hobby. His family’s really BIG in their village for being the chefs others go to during celebrations. I just love that he does something so simple, yet complicated. It makes them more alive to give them traits like this.

In reply to Lisa Buie-Collard. I like the idea of gardening, lol. But whenever I try, it doesn't turn out well. What I'm finding interesting about these skills and talents entries is the vast variety there are of each. I mean, I think 'gardening', and I imagine flowers or vegetables in a backyard. But modern gardening has expanded to include so many cool innovations so gardening can take place in unorthodox places with unusual methods. There are so many ways we can include various skills or talents and they don't have to look the way we would anticipate them to look.
