When Characters Collide

(1/3) > >>

julilly:
Do you ever have that moment when you're writing a new story and you think 'this seems familiar...' and realize that you are essentially writing the same character from an earlier story?

That kind of happened to me today. While writing a Brian scene I realized that I was essentially using Brian in the exact same way in my new story as I did in a previous one. I'm pretty much ripping myself off, I think.

Or is it perhaps more along the lines of it just being my style? What do you think?

I am constantly stealing my own stuff and not realizing it until way after the fact. LOL

Purpura Lipstick:
it's your own stuff... what's the harm in "stealing" it. LOL.

Carter-Orange:
I think I do the same kind of thing and think it has to do with writing style.

RokofAges75:
Yeah, it's probably because you're writing about the same characters... who are based on real people... so really, they SHOULD seem similar from story to story, unless there's a plot reason for them to be majorly different.  We all have our own takes on the guys that carry across our stories.  If would be different if all your original characters were basically the same, like Mary Sues LOL.
