It's funny you should bring this up because the mc in my wip blushes a lot. I guess I'll have to rethink that.Susan Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433408456603462774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-8405559359660964402010-12-16T13:17:57.889-08:002010-12-16T13:17:57.889-08:00People say that I blush when I'm smiling or la...People say that I blush when I'm smiling or laughing hard, but I'm not near a mirror when they say this.<br /><br />I use blushing sparingly in my writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-36800358963575808052010-12-16T12:23:10.623-08:002010-12-16T12:23:10.623-08:00Does anyone who's not native ever really learn...Does anyone who's not native ever really learn the French feminine and masculine?

I think teaching helped because I was always doing something stupid in front of thirty or so people. I once asked the class for different basketball teams to make up a word problem on the board. One student suggested UConn which I wrote as Yukon! Boy, I'm not a sports fan. The class thought that was hilarious.

I blush when I have to address more than 2 people at a time that aren't my friends. I blush when I have to talk one on one with someone I'm not comfortable with about something personal. And then I notice how they stare at my face as it goes red. And that makes it worse. And what REALLY makes it better is when you catch someone whisper how red I'm turning to someone else!

Now that you mention it, I'm ...Hilarious post! Now that you mention it, I'm reading about blushing ALL THE TIME in YA books. I blush myself usually for the same reason you do - only I make everything worse. I try to make a joke about the stupid thing I said and make it much worse. I was gift wrapping for charity last year and I stuck my foot farther and farther into my mouth talking to someone. My inner voice was SCREAMING at me "Just stop talking. Now. Just stop." But it was like my mouth was on autopilot and kept going. Meanwhile, my face was turning as red as my sweater. At least they were amused. I'm pale white so red shows up on me like a light in the darkness.Jennie Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088195986628533511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-24055920460263901152010-12-15T16:40:00.173-08:002010-12-15T16:40:00.173-08:00I feel like blushing is much more common in books ...I feel like blushing is much more common in books than in real life, but not to say it doesn't occur in real life. Just overused in books.<br /><br />I blush.

He would get these bright red spots in his cheeks.<br /><br />But he doesn't any more. I wonder why not? He grew out of it? He's toughened up? He did have jaw surgery about 12 years ago. Could that possibly have changed something physical?<br /><br />Not that I'm recommending jaw surgery to cure your blushing!Dianne K.

I hated getting called out in school to answer a question because I ALWAYS blushed. Then, like Laura Maylene mentioned, someone would draw attention to my blush and I'd get really red. Then, the cutest girl in class would say, "Look how red Ricky's getting" and I'd pray to be saved by the bell.Ricky Bushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15861574330175082978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-55858568272621257162010-12-15T13:06:42.040-08:002010-12-15T13:06:42.040-08:00oh i totally blush. and just the way you describe ...oh i totally blush. and just the way you describe it - once i know i've started blushing, it just gets worse!<br /><br />i think the word blush is too nice a word for the way my face reddens! if i have to speak in front of people, if someone says something mean...thank god for makeup!Hannah Mariskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619039217059753515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-11113861325404443812010-12-15T12:55:03.308-08:002010-12-15T12:55:03.308-08:00I reackon the most spectacular blush I've ever...I reackon the most spectacular blush I've ever seen was one of the blokes at work when 12 red roses were delivered to his desk one valentines day ;-)<br /><br />(Not from me I hasten to add)K M Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801740095715755112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-50377923727743884832010-12-15T12:45:30.672-08:002010-12-15T12:45:30.672-08:00Awwwwww!!!!!

I'm such a blusher. In high school my friends would say or do something just to make me blush then point at me and say (out loud in front of the whole class) "Look she's getting redder!" Well, duh I'm getting redder you are making an idiot out of me in front of my hormonal, judgmental peers! <br />Anyway, I know how you feel. I also think that if a character blushes it better be true to that character or the reader will see right through it. <br />Great post :)Nicole L Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407282219503162959noreply@blogger.com
