I don't think she received the letter, however. She was too busy saving the world and the postal service has been in disarray for some time. It certainly made her seem real, though. I'll try interviewing. It sounds really fun.Robin Rednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-42080746201815780072011-07-27T19:29:12.091-07:002011-07-27T19:29:12.091-07:00These are all great ideas :D I usually have a feel...These are all great ideas :D I usually have a feel for my characters before I write, and my voice develops (first or third-person) in the first draft. Then I fix everything second draft. Sometimes I make character sheets, sometimes I don't!

It's still not finished and I still don't like it. May never finish it at this point.

I intervi...Ooo. I love character sheets, so CHECK!<br /><br />I interview them a lot because they're often too stubborn to tell me what they're really like. I feel like an outside person trying to invade their personal space. It's not a pretty feeling.<br /><br />In all honesty, I hadn't thought about asking them to talk about one another. I kinda know what they'd say and it's not all nice, but I've never sat down and written it. So thanks for the idea. It's worth the try. *hugs*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17979704972319783846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-54604613483023342912011-07-27T07:01:58.413-07:002011-07-27T07:01:58.413-07:00Great post!

I've got so many! <br /><br />Ok, ok, I should answer my own question. <br /><br />I love Sirius and the Weasley twins from <i>Harry Potter</i>, Four from <i>Divergent</i>, Johnny from <i>Saint</i> and probably twenty others that I'll think of as soon as I hit "Post Comment." <br /><br />Like Artemis Fowl. Oh! Oh! And Finnick Odair from <i>The Hunger Games Trilogy</i>. How I love Finnick...<br /><br />Ok, I'm going to stop bombarding you guys with characters now.
