I talk about my characters as if they're real people so often that now even my friends/family are doing it. "Oh, Veronica! Jarod would love this song!" "Wouldn't Alaina love to do this with us?" "Ugh! You sound just like Kendra!" Maybe we all just slip into that fictional world too easily :)Veronica Bartleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452926814324819692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387831664633399290.post-67991622135393977722012-05-10T14:09:23.434-03:002012-05-10T14:09:23.434-03:00Wayne!

The title "Confessions of an Unpublished Writer" popped in my head, so I decided to Google it -- and came across your site. Then, I read #6. HILARIOUS!<br /><br />BTW, I don't just talk about my characters like they're real people (I'm the creator of a cartoon about the writing life www.boscafelife.com), in my mind, my character ARE real people. I know exactly what they would say and wouldn't say, you know? <br /><br />Great post!

I struggle to think of any others because you've indeed nailed them.<br />How about screaming, "That character would never say/do that!" about half-way through the second season of a tv show.<br /><br />And what writer doesn't have a close friend or loved one who knows 'the look' - the look in your eyes when you're not truly listening as you nod and go, "Mmmmm." You're off creating worlds from the tiny spark of something they said. :)Melinda Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391417659960697968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387831664633399290.post-92104035602425754262012-04-20T08:24:18.483-03:002012-04-20T08:24:18.483-03:00Glad I'm not the only one.
