'Know your characters' they said....
Advice to New Writers : "Before starting to write your novel you must know all about your main characters "
That advice seemed very helpful.
Back in the day when I was a beginner at novel writing, I diligently wrote a profile for my two main characters, mentioning all the items suggested in the advice.

Nick's review
of
The Genius of Luther's Theology: A Wittenberg Way of Thinking for the Contemporary Church:
"The Genius of Luther's Theology: A Wittenberg Way of Thinking for the Contemporary Church by Robert Kolb is an excellent companion for anyone seeking either a solid refresher on the foundational tenets of the Church or a deeper dive into the teaching"

| At last I read the long awaited third volume of Patrick Leigh Fermor's journey on foot from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. There are gaps in his account, for understandable reasons but he maintains the young man's perspective of his travels, ...more | |

quote
“All his life he’d believed that birth and privilege were an automatic passport to principle and the finer feelings generally unknown amongst the lower orders. Now he knew that, in extreme circumstances, the differences boiled down to little more than a smattering of education and the quality of one’s coat”

“So this is goodbye?' In spite of her efforts, her voice shook.
They walked to the bottom of the road and turned back up again before he said, 'Yes, Anna, this is goodbye. Promise me you'll be very careful.'
She raised her face to his. 'If this is goodbye, may I ask you something?'
'Anything, my infant.'
'I want you to kiss me - properly.'
He gave a gasp of laughter. 'But that would be very improper.'
She grasped his lapels. 'Please...'
Giles darted a look around. The road was empty of people. He pulled her a few steps further along to a doorway. There he stood and looked at her intently. She gazed hopefully up into his green eyes.”

“As soon as the door closed behind the man, Arnaut strode across and raised her hand to his lips. Next he walked round her, his head on one side. 'I'm relieved to see I judged the fit correctly. You look very well.'
He sounded so pleased with himself that Louise had to smile. 'I think you've had some practice,' she murmured.”

Hello Yelda, It's lovely to meet another person with an interest in Ottoman history. I thought from your name you must have Turkish connections. I've visited izmir many years ago. My husband was Turkish [from Ankara] and we taught at Ataturk University in Erzurum for 5 years. I'm very interested in Sultan Selim III and also Sultan Mahmud II and my stories do mention them. I've written short articles on them on my blog. http://regencytales.blogspot.com -Difficult times:the reign of Sultan Selim III 27/01/13 and - Reforming Rulers 2, Sultan Mahmud II 26/01/16. I went to visit the little palace where Sultan Selim spent his summers, and used it as the home for my hero in Scandalous Lady, set in 1811. The story you've marked to read is also set partly in Constantinople in 1804.
Good luck with your novel. Best wishes, Beth
Hi Beth,Thank you so much for friending me! I have seen your books before and wanted to read them! What part or Era of the Ottoman Empire have you researched? I've been researching the early 19th century, basically the Regency period in Britain, but the reign of Selim III and Mahmud II for about 10 years for my book. Have you been to Turkey? I was born in Izmir, my father is from Istanbul, my mother Izmir. Thank you for reaching out to me! I look forward to reading your books. Which one is the one set in the Ottoman Empire? I think it's the one I marked "to read." Take Care.
Yelda
