That's one reason I write because I do love my characters. <BR/>If I saw one of my heroes I'd probably hyperventilate, and either run, or collapse in a dead faint.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-68873151091203867392008-05-21T22:28:00.000-05:002008-05-21T22:28:00.000-05:00I think some characters are so real to us they are...I think some characters are so real to us they are like friends we love spending time with.

I've actually been playing around with having one of my secondary characters (a tiny, hyper, and very blunt fairy) interview some of the others in the Anna series for website content. It's been pretty fun, even if I decide not to use it! And it's helped me draft books 2 and 3.Mel Hiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945592428034100547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850524524995973615.post-46492940778329240462008-05-21T10:32:00.000-05:002008-05-21T10:32:00.000-05:00I used to poll my readers on which of the Jades (p...I used to poll my readers on which of the Jades (pleasure slaves of Her Majesty Rheyn Destoiya) would be interviewed next. She had several. They were very open gentlemen and enjoyed sharing as much as the empress would allow. Readers loved it, and so did I. It was a great writing exercise to get into character. <BR/><BR/>I also created a space on my website where the companies and various places in my books could be accessed. An imperial internet I dubbed Imperinet. I'm redoing it with a professional designer this year and it will be quite flashy and modern. I think readers love getting lost in a story.
