26. Character inspiration

.

Granted, this can come from a multitude of places, but my characters initially look like singers – you know, before I really get to know them and they morph (so good luck identifying the source material in the final product).

.

Music was my first love, and I had that dream beaten out of me early on. Maybe I really wasn’t good at writing and performing, but we’ll never know. Consequently, my music collection over the last *mumble* years has grown to about 10,000 songs, so their voices and faces get in my head and they’re the most likely to become a character spark. Of course, I fill them in with pieces of the weirdos I know in person.
