Jobs are as important for our characters as they are for real people. A character’s career might be their dream job or one they’ve chosen due to necessity. In your story, they might be trying to get that job or are already working in the field. Whatever the situation, as with any defining aspect for your character, you’ll need to do the proper research to be able to write that career knowledgeably.

Enter the Occupation Thesaurus. Here, you’ll find important background information on a variety of career options for your character. In addition to the basics, we’ll also be covering related info that relates to character arc and story planning, such as sources of conflict (internal and external) and how the job might impact basic human needs, thereby affecting the character’s goals. It’s our hope that this thesaurus will share some of your research burden while also giving you ideas about your character’s occupation that you might not have considered before.

Occupation: Wedding Planner

Overview: A wedding planner’s job is to take the stress off the engaged couple as much as possible by taking the time to understand the type of wedding they are looking for and the budget for the event, and then bring together options for venues, entertainment, decor, ceremony options, and vendors for the wedding couple to consider. The hundreds of small decisions and pressure to make the day memorable can lead to huge amounts of stress. A planner can help by narrowing the options for the wedding couple in a way that aligns with their vision , making the decision-making process much more manageable.

A wedding planner can use their vendor contacts to find vendors (entertainment, music, caterers, cake decorator, flowers and decor, photos, a videographer, etc.) to make the event not only special, but affordable. They can help out with the delivery and tracking of invitations, offer counsel on the best way to navigate difficult family dynamics (parents who are divorced, feuds in the family,  controlling in-laws, etc.), reserve a venue, manage seating, arrange for tasting or menu viewing with caterers and bakeries, create timelines for the days leading up to the wedding (and the day of), and even help plan the travel afterwards for the honeymoon. On the day of the wedding, a planner will be onsite to ensure the ceremony, photos, and reception all proceed as planned, managing all the moving pieces and taking as much responsibility and stress off the wedding couple and their family as possible, leaving them all to just enjoy the experience. It is the wedding planner’s job to ensure the event is as close to the wedding couple’s wishes as possible, handle any problems as they crop up, and protect the wedding couple from any forces (relatives or otherwise) who seek to interfere or take away from the “specialness” of the big day.

Necessary Training: Wedding Planners usually take a wedding planning course or diploma program certified by the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) that covers all aspects of wedding planning and client relations. In many cases, this course can be taken online over several months.

Occupation: Business Tycoon

Overview: A business tycoon is someone who is extremely successful in their industry. Tycoons tend to be entrepreneurial, coming up with innovative ideas or solutions that help them rise to the top in their fields. Some (Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet, etc.) are so famous as to become household names to the general public, while others are simply well-known by those in their fields. A person can become a mogul in any industry—automobiles, banking, social media, finance, media, real estate, etc. Because of their success, these leaders tend to be very wealthy.

Necessary Training: This will depend on the industry. Many successful business people have degrees—sometimes, multiple degrees—from institutions of higher education. Others are entirely self-taught. But most of these individuals share a drive to learn, grow, and improve through whatever means will enable them to keep moving toward success.

Useful Skills, Talents, or Abilities: A knack for making money, exceptional memory, haggling, multitasking, promotion, strategic thinking

Helpful Character Traits:

POSITIVE: Adaptable, adventurous, ambitious, analytical, bold, confident, decisive, diplomatic, disciplined, efficient, industrious, intelligent, meticulous, passionate, patient, persistent, persuasive, talented, wise

NEGATIVE: Confrontational, devious, disloyal, greedy, materialistic, perfectionist

Sources of Friction: The competition threatening one’s position at the top of the chain, bad PR, rushing to sale with a product or service that isn’t ready, losing a great deal of money in a bad investment, being sued, being blackmailed, long work hours creating conflict with family members, being unable to solve a particular problem, gold diggers and opportunists making one doubt the motives of others, being hounded by paparazzi, one’s personal life becoming the topic of tabloids and national headlines, changing regulations that create problems for one’s production methods, a whistleblower exposing the company’s dark side, unethical practices from the past coming to light and threatening one’s reputation

People They Might Interact With: Other business people, investors, board members, employees, news reporters, personal secretaries or assistants, celebrities

How This Occupation Might Impact One’s Basic Needs:

• Self-Actualization: A business person finding themselves doing things they never intended (acting unethically, becoming a workaholic, engaging in unhealthy relationships due to their wealth or prestige) may find their sense of self-actualization is at risk.
• Esteem and Recognition: A tycoon who started their business out of a need to prove themselves (to themselves or others) may find that, despite success, that need is still lacking. This revelation may drive them to find the true root of their esteem problems.
• Love and Belonging: This need can be impacted if the business person has difficulty connecting with others due to lack of trust, time constraints, or some other underlying reason.
• Safety and Security: A wealthy business mogul’s safety could be impacted if he becomes the target for a stalker, rival, disgruntled employee or client, or some other dissatisfied or unhinged individual.

Common Work-Related Settings: Airplane, art gallery, ballroom, bank, big city street, black-tie event, boarding school, boardroom, limousine, mansion, penthouse suite, ski resort, sporting event stands, upscale hotel lobby, yacht

Twisting the Fictional Stereotype: Business tycoons are typically portrayed as greedy, unethical, heartless, and willing to do whatever it takes to further their bottom line. Twist this stereotype by creating a different kind of mogul—maybe one who is humble or who stumbled into success rather than fighting for it all of her life.

This occupation can also be freshened up by thinking outside the typical billionaire box. Instead of your tycoon being successful in banking or real estate, how else might she achieve greatness? Growing exotic trees and plant hybrids? Revitalizing the public education system? Inventing a food source that burns calories?

Lastly, consider your business person’s appearance. People with a lot of money tend to be more attractive than most, due to the money they’re able to spend on their appearance. Consider giving your rich business mogul something that others would consider to be a physical shortcoming—one they choose not to correct once the have the money to do so.

When judging a story’s quality, one of the first questions we might measure against is “Are there any plot holes?”

Plot holes can cause a loud *record scratch* “Wait, what?” reaction in readers, pulling them out of a story, sometimes irreparably, as they protest the impossible or unsuccessfully try to get the illogical to make sense. Like typos and grammar issues, plot holes are easy to point to as evidence of poor writing in a review or a warning to stay away.

Obviously, we want to do everything we can to avoid plot holes in our story—but some types of plot holes can be sneaky.

What Are Plot Holes?

According to Wikipedia:

“In fiction, a plot hole…is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story’s plot. Such inconsistencies include such things as illogical or impossible events, and statements or events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.”

However, the Oxford English Dictionary gives a much broader definition than just those plot and event issues (emphasis added):

“An inconsistency in the narrative or character development of a book, film, television programme, etc.”

Understandably—given the name—when we think of plot holes, we think of inconsistent or illogical plot events, but the same “record scratch” reaction applies to inconsistencies and impossibilities when it comes to characters or other story elements as well. So we should broaden our thinking when it comes to finding (and fixing) plot holes.

In fact, those non-plot-style holes can be extra tricky to identify simply because they’re not what we think of when searching for plot holes. Yet they’re just as important to watch out for and resolve.

Sources of Plot Holes

Whether we’re looking for plot holes in our own stories or we’re helping edit our friends’ work, we’ll have better luck if we know the different sources of plot holes that can lurk in our stories:

• Plot Holes: Inconsistencies in the plot and/or plot events. For example, in one scene, a group of characters might split up, and in the next scene, a character who was with the first group suddenly participates in the second group’s conversation in a different setting.
  Plot problems can be:
  • related to time and place—who’s doing what when
  • illogical or lacking story-plot flow—events or character actions have no reason for happening, or they couldn’t happen due to other events
  • gaps—questions are left conveniently unanswered (“Wait, how did they escape?”)

• Character Development Holes: Inconsistencies in characters and/or their development. For example, a character who’s deathly afraid of snakes is suddenly fine with handling one—and there’s no explanation for the change of attitude.
  Character problems can be:
  • contradictory—their behavior or knowledge doesn’t match previous information (with no explanation for the difference)
  • puppet-like behavior—characters’ actions are too convenient, lack motivation, or make sense only from the perspective of plot requirements
  • broken arc—characters’ goals, stakes, or motivations are forgotten, ignored, or change with no explanation

• World-building Holes: Inconsistencies in the world we’ve build for our story. These can be shallow—such as how many bullets our hero’s weapon can hold versus how many they’ve shot—or they can be deep—such as understanding why something in our story world works the way it does.

World-building holes might not be something we’ve thought of before, and they’re often the trickiest to find and fix if we’re not aware of the possibility.

What Are World-building Plot Holes?

Every story contains world-building, not just sci-fi and fantasy tales. Even stories set in the “real” world have to build their specific setting, from a New York City neighborhood to a ranch in Australia’s Outback.

No matter the type of story, we also have to be consistent with our characters’ names and physical descriptions. Their hair or eye color shouldn’t change…unless that ability is part of our world-building. (I do write paranormal romance, after all. *grin*)

Sources of World-building Holes include:

• Explanations of why something is important or can’t be done
• Inconsistencies in characters’ backstories (and in how it affects the plot and/or story)
• Settings, props, or science/religious/cultural details (places/things characters interact with)
• Political, power, or magic systems (and how they affect the characters, plot, and/or story)
• Character details (name, age, job, physical description, personality details/quirks, etc.)

When we check for plot holes, we need to question more than just the plot details. Whether we revise by building a plot/subplot outline and character/worldbuilding story bible or by relying on the help of beta readers/developmental editors, we want to broaden our scope of where we’re checking for inconsistencies and logic issues so we can find them all—even the sneaky ones.

Do you have any questions about plot holes—or the different places they lurk?

Whatever the situation, as with any defining aspect for your character, you’ll need to do the proper research to be able to write that career knowledgeably.

In addition to the basics, we’ll also be covering related info that relates to character arc and story planning, such as sources of conflict (internal and external) and how the job might impact basic human needs, thereby affecting the character’s goals. It’s our hope that this thesaurus will share some of your research burden while also giving you ideas about your character’s occupation that you might not have considered before.

Occupation: Model

Overview: The career of a model can look very different depending on the type of modeling they do and the level of their success. Most modeling falls into two categories: editorial (magazine spreads in higher-end magazines, fashion catwalks, high-end makeup ads, etc.) and commercial (catalogs, print ads for non-fashion products, commercials, and even showroom work where they work with the fashion designers as a form for the clothing being made). Models who are editorial often have a very distinctive look (something different or striking) and are often quite tall and adhere to very specific weight and age ranges. They also will clearly display their personality to prospective agents and clients in their look, but are expected to be flexible and unopinionated—to do as they are told. Those in commercial modeling may have a variety of sizes and heights, be of different ages, and would have more of a “girl (or boy) next door” appeal because commercial modeling is more about the product than the model.

Most models do not make a living wage and only model part time or have another job to supplement their income. The hours are very long and demanding, and it isn’t uncommon for an editorial model to be paid for their time with a lunch or a gift of clothing rather than a cash payment if they are in the building stages of their career where they are striving to build a portfolio and gain recognition. Those who are at the top of the editorial modeling world can make millions, but this is the exception, not the rule. Commercial modeling can be more lucrative including residuals from commercials, but neither avenue comes with job security or medical benefits unless the model is in high demand. The competition is very high and the industry is saturated with criticism and rejection, so having a strong mindset and being determined is crucial.

Typically modeling starts in the teens and goes into the early twenties in editorial modeling, but a greater range is common in commercial because it is more about what a specific brand is looking for as a match for their product, catalog, or commercial. Models may also only use one of their features, such as a hand (jewelry, skincare products, accessories) or foot (shoes, socks, accessories) rather than their whole body.

Much of a model’s time is spent off-camera waiting for interviews, going to castings or auditions, fittings, spending time in hair and makeup, going to the gym, and rushing between appointments. Because the industry has a huge power imbalance, there is a lot of additional pressure on models. Some may deal with inappropriate touching, sexual advances, and pressure to have sex. Because modeling can look very different depending on the type of work being done and the success level of the model it’s important to do your research for this type of character.

Necessary Training: Models may take classes to become more comfortable with the business (understanding how casting and callbacks work, fittings, dealing with criticism, the role of agents, the importance of building a name, how to create a strong portfolio, working with photographers, etc.), but it isn’t a requirement. Maintaining strong hygiene, maintaining good health, and controlling one’s weight are all key for this profession.

Useful Skills, Talents, or Abilities: A knack for languages, a knack for making money, a way with animals, charm, exceptional memory, gaining the trust of others, good listening skills, making people laugh, mimicking, multitasking, parkour, photographic memory, promotion, strong breath control, super strength, swift-footedness

Helpful Character Traits:

POSITIVE: Adaptable, adventurous, ambitious, bold, centered, charming, confident, cooperative, creative, diplomatic, disciplined, discreet, easygoing, empathetic, extroverted, flamboyant, focused, friendly, funny, imaginative, independent, industrious, intelligent, mature, meticulous, obedient, observant, organized, passionate, patient, persistent, persuasive, professional, sensual, sophisticated, talented, thrifty, tolerant, uninhibited

NEGATIVE: perfectionist, subservient, workaholic

Sources of Friction:

Untrustworthy agents, being taken advantage of as a minor in the industry (exploitation), people in positions of power using intimidation and threats to get what they want, pressure to have sex or allow sexual advances, struggling to pay one’s bills, the pressure to maintain an unhealthy weight causing eating disorders, being worn down by criticism and suffering from anxiety and depression, a health crisis due to the stress and strain of work but not having medical coverage and so going into debt, clients who refuse to pay in a reasonable amount of time and having to chase down payment, having one’s hair damaged by over-processing in hair and makeup prep, struggling to make ends meet due to low pay, one’s look being cast aside for a fresher look in a fickle industry, difficulty forming relationships or making time for family and friends because one’s work and exercise & hygiene routines take us so much time

People They Might Interact With: Agents, other models, model advocates or parents (for underage models), photographers, designers, high level executives (clients and VIPs) from different companies, celebrities, journalists, artists, delivery people, hair and makeup artists, clothing stylists, assistants and consultants

How This Occupation Might Impact One’s Basic Needs:

• Esteem and Recognition: So much emphasis on the physical appearance can cause esteem issues. Criticism from professionals, models comparing themselves to others, and the constant focus on physique can negatively impact the way they view themselves
• Love and Belonging: Very attractive people often struggle to know if people interested in them are only there because of their looks. This can lead to relationship issues and difficulty opening up to others.
• Safety and Security: Modes who are highly visible are easily recognizable to the Average Joe and can become targets for stalkers and other unstable individuals
• Physiological Needs: When body image issues become serious enough to birth mental disorders like bulimia and anorexia, the person’s very life may become endangered.

Common Work-Related Settings: Ballroom, black-tie event, hair salon, waiting room

Twisting the Fictional Stereotype: 

• Models have historically been presented as superficial and vapid, to the point of this stereotype becoming a trope. Make sure your model, like every other character, is well-rounded and multi-dimensional.
• Models in fiction are almost always female. And while female models outnumber their male counterparts in the real world, there are enough male models to make this a viable option for male characters.

Hi everyone! Happy to welcome author Chrys Fey to the blog who has brought a few ideas along with her on how to do small things to help with your creative mindset. Please read on, and enjoy!

Writers live in the world of creativity. We thrive off it, seek it, and use it. But sometimes, creativity can be hard to come by. Our imagination can diminish, our ideas can disappear, our productivity can plummet, and we can suffer from writer’s block, the inability to produce new work. Wikipedia even defines it as a writer who “experiences a creative slow down.”

Let’s do all we can to prevent those slowdowns!

Here are 3 ways to boost your creativity naturally:

1. Colors

Colors have been associated with emotions for ages; pink with love and friendship, red with anger and passion, green with wealth and health, white with purity and protection.

You can use color to heighten any aspect you want, especially when it comes to your career. Think about your office and desk for a moment. Better yet, if you are there, take a look around. What colors do you see in the artwork and décor? What color is painted on the walls? Those colors could be influencing you while you work, either positively or negatively. And what colors you should have around you depends on your goal.

Take a look at the colors below and some of the things they can increase.

Pay special attention to the ones with asterisks (*) in front of them.

*Yellow – creativity, ideas, happiness

*Royal Blue – imagination, insight

*Indigo – mental power, serenity

Purple – ambition, wisdom

Red – courage, passion, energy

*Gold – business endeavors, financial gain

Orange – confidence, attraction

Green – growth, wealth

Pink – friendship, love, sociability

Black – power, wisdom

Brown – grounding in the physical world

Add art and décor to your office or to your desk in a color that symbolizes what you seek. For example: pale yellow walls for creativity, a royal blue candle for imagination, a gold vase (business endeavors) with indigo flowers (mental power).

Experiment even with wearing a color you want to associate with. If you want to attract new ideas, wear yellow. I even painted my nails yellow once and asked for ideas to help me with my current work-in-progress with each brush stroke. And it worked for me! Whatever you need, turn to the color chart for help.

2. Aroma

Aromatherapy is a real thing. The smell of lavender can calm a stressed mind. The smell of rosemary has been said to alleviate headaches, and eucalyptus is known for its healing properties in sick rooms.

I use aromas all the time to invigorate my brain and writing power. One of my favorites is cinnamon. This smell (as well as the spice) has been researched extensively and has been found to aid with memory and learning. My favorite method is to pour a few drops of cinnamon oil into an oil burner. This is the best way to get that mind-awakening scent in your office or throughout your house. But you can use candles, wax melts, or room spray.

TIP: Add a dash of cinnamon to your coffee grounds for a boost of mental power with your morning or afternoon cup of coffee.

Here are some aromas and what they can attract/stimulate:

Apple – happiness

Cedar – courage, protection

*Cinnamon – career success, wealth

Clove – prosperity, sexual desire, aids memory

Frankincense – psychic awareness

Gardenia – harmony, love

Ginger – balance, awareness

*Honeysuckle – mental clarity, communication

Lavender – relaxation, peace of mind

Pine – strength

Rose – love, lifts your spirits

*Rosemary – memory retention, mental sharpness

*Sandalwood – knowledge

For Example: if you need to remember answers to a test or words to a speech, burn rosemary oil or simply sniff a rosemary sprig every few minutes while you study.

Use aromas to get you into the state of mind you need.

TIP: You can even add a few drops of essential oils to your bath!

Aromatherapy.com and Aromaweb.com

3. Gemstones

Stones harbor magical properties. Ancient civilizations used the power of crystals to release mental, physical, and spiritual blocks. And you can use crystals and gemstones for their energies, too. I have an amethyst on my desk that I like to hold whenever I sit down to write to clear my mind and prepare me for my task ahead. I even ask it to help my words flow. I also have a tiny clear quartz that I carry in my purse. I put this quartz in my pocket before I had to give my first speech as a writer, because clear quartz can help you to transmit ideas.

Below are some gemstones and a few of their associations:

Amber – protection, self-confidence

Amethyst – for meditation, calming emotions

*Aquamarine – stimulating creativity, for clarity and mental awareness

 *Coral – enhance intuition and creativity

*Quartz (clear) – retain information, to transmit ideas and energy

*Amazonite – concentration, creativity, attract success

*Aventurine – creativity, motivation, imagination, business success

Bloodstone – organization, courage

*Calcite – creativity, luck, problem resolution

*Carnelian – concentration, focus, action

*Citrine – creativity, clarity of thought

*Emerald – memory, business success, insight

*Garnet – inspiration, business success

Jade – concentration, wisdom

*Malachite – inspiration, money, success

Moonstone – hope, good fortune, new beginnings

Tiger Eye – communication, luck

Topaz – focus, power, clarity

Turquoise – courage, romantic love, healing

Put a crystal or two in your office near natural light so it can release its vibrations into the space. Or put some on your desk that you can touch or look at. While you hold them, think about which of its powers you need to call upon. For Example: hold garnet for inspiration or citrine for creativity. You can even wear one of these gemstones as a piece of jewelry.

TIP: If you buy a crystal or piece of jewelry, cleanse it with water and mild soap to wash away any negativity someone could’ve placed there by touching it before you.

For more about gemstones and their properties check out:

Energy Muse and Fire Mountain Gems

Incorporate one or all of these techniques into your space or writing ritual to boost your creativity naturally. Maybe it’s the law of attraction and positive thinking, or maybe it’s nature and spirit. Either way, if it works, that’s all the matters.

As writers, we can use all the help we can get!
