This month, I’ve been trying to write a novel for National Novel Writing Month, which I’m currently calling Liza’s Party. It is a twenty first century remake of Pygmalion, where two guys attempt to create the ‘perfect woman’ online via sites like Facebook. The novel is moving along okay, a little behind schedule, but most of the characters are well defined, except Liza.

So, I thought I would ask people who visit my blog their views of what Liza should be like? What would make her the perfect online companion? More importantly, how would she demonstrate these attributes online?

Another question that I want some of my characters to struggle with is, what benefits, if any, might there be in attempting to create such an online companion? The potential downsides are much more obvious.

So, what are your thoughts? How would you imagine Liza?
