Just wondering...

I've always felt that writing is a form of acting because you have to get yourself into the characters frame of mind in order to write them.  My friend Amanda knew when I was writing certain characters because of what or how I would talk about things after I was writing. Not saying I would act like the characters but my frame of mind was still there. Don't know if that exactly makes sense.

I don't think every character I've written has a bit of me, but I do use other characters or people as reference for my characters, but quite a few of them have my some trait of mine.

Out of the boys in the stories I've written I don't think I've see myself in them too much because the characters opposite usually have some trait or another from me.

Well lets see...I never put all of me in a character. But I think every author puts some of themselves in the story, and some of the character into them. It's like a blend almost on both sides. Cause you have to get into their head, and they end up in yours a little.

And I think I sound crazy now lol.

Different aspects of me go into different characters. Me, I have a few examples: Cally (from Just Another Day) admittedly got the most of any character I've written. But she's way too...much of a people pleaser lol. I am very outspoken haha, and never could be like that. And she has too many confidence issues. Kayden (from Rehab) got my outspoken side lmao, only exaggerated cause I don't punch someone when I'm pissed lmao. And Pearl from 00Carter got my sense of humor. So, no author should make the character completely them. But some should go in, cause the story in the end is part of you...and you write what you know.

Actually none of me goes into my BSB characters though. I base Nick off my best friend, who Nick actually reminds me of and vise versa. So my Nick is a blend of what I see of him in real life, and of my best friend Chris. Ironically enough a lot of people tell me I portray Nick really well and how they think he might really be lol. So, it works.

Many of my characters are based off people I know in real life hehe. I tell my friends if I ever get published they'll be famous. :)

honey:
actually I think that is a really good question and I know I for one do it all the time. Brian in my latest story, Movie, is a LOT like me. I think we all do it a little. Like Dee said, you kind of have to put a little bit of yourself into your characters. I think that's why we can all write Nick, but he will always come out a little bit different. I think we all identify with them in different ways because we tend to see the similarities they have with us personally.

Kagoma:
In 'Attack of the fifty foot Howie' the dialogue is based on what I say on a regular daily bases. I say some really random morbid, messed up things.
