I've been giving my characters a lot of thought this week. I had a crummy week and my characters are like really cool friends for me. their hijinks and adventures give me a break. I can close my eyes and hear them. or I can imagine scenes from the book. I'm also mapping out chapters for the sequel. although, I think I will have a bunch of cutting because my ideas are getting away from me. auuggg. I hate cutting things from a manuscript. it's like taking part of their life away. my people need their lives. if I can't have an exciting life they can, right?
Definitely ;) I do the same thing all the time. My characters make me feel so much smarter...
ReplyDeleteThe poster is beautiful. I adore ballet. It's good to know other writers see their characters as friends. Mine won't leave even when I've started a new project. I can't seem to get them to play together.
ReplyDeletebravo for stepping back a bit...think your characters are having a bit of fun with you, as friends do...and love the poster.
