A Novel Idea,
Welcome back to our insanely neglected blog. We’ve decided to write a post today - linking up to A Novel Idea - to introduce to you some of our favorite characters, Jackson West & Charly Mellaney. It’s hard to remember when exactly we came up with them, but they’re two of the characters we come back to again and again so that we can keep developing them. To keep developing them even further, we decided to participate in this week’s A Novel Idea and write 10 facts each about Jackson and Charly.
1. Full name is Jackson Matthew West. Matthew was his dad’s middle name. Until he meets Charly, he doesn’t have a nickname, but when he meets her, she starts calling him Jacks.
2. His passion is music. He started playing guitar at the age of 15, and music became his refuge and his dream.
3. When he was 21, he got his semi-big break as a guitarist for Charly’s brother, Carter.
4. He has a bad boy reputation and is often featured in tabloids.
5. As part of his job, he goes on tour with Carter’s band, which means he’s been to 43 states.
7. His family consists of one sister, Emma, and a nephew, Benji.
A Novel Idea: Jackson & Charly
Welcome back to our insanely neglected blog. We’ve decided to write a post today - linking up to A Novel Idea - to introduce to you some of our favorite characters, Jackson West & Charly Mellaney. It’s hard to remember when exactly we came up with them, but they’re two of the characters we come back to again and again so that we can keep developing them. To keep developing them even further, we decided to participate in this week’s A Novel Idea and write 10 facts each about Jackson and Charly.
Jackson West
1. Full name is Jackson Matthew West. Matthew was his dad’s middle name. Until he meets Charly, he doesn’t have a nickname, but when he meets her, she starts calling him Jacks.
2. His passion is music. He started playing guitar at the age of 15, and music became his refuge and his dream.
3. When he was 21, he got his semi-big break as a guitarist for Charly’s brother, Carter.
4. He has a bad boy reputation and is often featured in tabloids.
5. As part of his job, he goes on tour with Carter’s band, which means he’s been to 43 states.
6. He grew up in foster care until he aged out of the system at age 18.
7. His family consists of one sister, Emma, and a nephew, Benji.
8. He was a 10 pound baby, and he was born on September 19th at 3:43 AM.
9. His favorite ice cream flavor is either Cookies ‘n’ Cream or Rocky Road.
10. He doesn’t read often, but his favorite book is Into the Wild.
1. Full name is Charlotte Elizabeth Mellaney, but alwaysalwaysalways goes by Charly. The only time she ever gets called Charlotte is when she’s in trouble. Jackson takes to calling her Char after they meet. (She thinks it’s ‘cause he’s too lazy to say Charly).
2. Was abandoned by her mother when she was a few weeks old, and put into foster care. For the first 10 years of her life, she was tossed around from home to home until she was placed in the Mellaneys’ home. She was adopted less than 6 months later. Charly never wanted to be anyone but a Mellaney - they showed her what real love was. That it existed.
3. Has 3 older brothers: Carter, Spencer, and Drew. Although she’s closest to Spencer, her big brothers are all overprotective and only want the best for her.
4. Has been working at her dad’s restaurant since she was 11. She’s been a waitress, a cook, a manager. Anything and everything they might need.
5. Loves to travel, and would do anything to see the world, so when her parents tell her she has to figure out what she wants to do with her life, she begs her big brother Carter (country music singer) to take her on tour with his band. Just like any big brother, the guy can’t say no.
6. Favorite food is General Tsos chicken, and she eats it about once a week.
7. She’s 19 years old, her birthday falling on July 4th.
8. Doesn’t take crap off of anyone - least of all guitarists who are vain. When Jackson and Charly first meet, she hates him. He thinks that he’s the hottest thing to hit Hollywood in the last couple of years, and while Charly doesn’t deny the fact that he’s hot, she’s not about to let him know that.
9. Like comedy and action movies the best, probably something she got from growing up with 3 big brothers.
10. Charly would spend her life reading if she could but finds that life gets in the way of doing that. Her favorite book is Anne of Green Gables, and would love to someday find her Gilbert.
