I’ve never been particularly good at it, so I wasn’t exactly excited with myself when I decided to include a bunch of cars in The Historians. Having Ells in the story automatically means there will be cars, though, so you can blame her and her Mini here:
So really, blame her for this. It’s her fault, really.
Anyhow, I’ve made a car list over on the Historians blog, and I realized whilst doing it that I love matching cars to people’s personalities. You can tell a lot about a person based on what they drive in many cases – for example, Ells is cheeky and fun-loving, a lot like her Mini. I was wondering about this and I got to thinking – if you’re a writer, do you ever do this, too? Do you think as much about what your characters motor around in as I do, or am I just weird?
Eventually I’ll write about this in more depth once I’ve got time on my hands and that sort of thing, but you get the idea, yes?
