If you make Flare act like a jerk in chapter three and the real life Flare reads it, drama inevitably ensues.<br /><br />For the most part, I try to keep the characters separate from their real-life counterparts. But old habits die hard, so I will probably always see a little Stephanie in Ember, a little Ellie in Firefly.<br /><br />There's definitely no way I can stop seeing Coal like his original counterpart. I've succeeded in making his character very different, but when I close my eyes Coal always looks like my friend's brother.<br /><br />More and more though I'm trying to distance myself from my alter-ego of Ember.

If I get to read your story I'll probably picture all the characters like this.<br /><br />Since you sort of based the characters on real life people, are you picturing those people when you write or are you imagining the characters alone? Like, are you picturing yourself as Ember or is she totally separate from you?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570885191712211971noreply@blogger.com
