Their attributes are those that I wish I could be, I don't want to be, or I am. How I wish I could be more like Rebecca! Childlike qualities are enviable.<br />Once again, good post!Emily R.

This definitely got me thinking.Jenna Blake Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12348472716158899465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509009608138236950.post-77973032045068080242011-10-05T18:07:08.526-06:002011-10-05T18:07:08.526-06:00I think all of my characters have some trait of mi...I think all of my characters have some trait of mine--even the bad ones.

Not only for the reasons you listed but also because the women always wore dresses! I am not a dress girl. <br /><br />And I'm glad I'm not the only one that talks to herself or has people in her head. haha.

I have conversations with them more often than I do with my family. <br /><br />I definately don't see them as a part of me, though we do occasionally have things in common.K.V.

Like my character Will, for example. He's NOTHING like me ... plus he's male to boot. It's tough to jump inside of that and think that I'll be able to pull it off ya know? I agree with you... some of my characters are far far from me. But many of them are who I'd be if I dared. Or what I'd do if I allowed myself to get crazy angry or something like that, ya know? :)Sara Bullanoreply@blogger.com
