If you’ve read my last two blog posts, you’ll know that I’m currently writing what I call “Renata’s chapters.” It’s the beginning of my story. To capture her, I’ve been observing women. That must sound silly since I am a woman, but I don’t want Renata to just be a reflection of myself. And so I’ve found this image, along with others here, to be inspirational for her character. This is how I see her. Not just her body, or her figure, but as someone who is feminine, delicate, complex, and resilient.
