I just did a Mary-sue test on my character the other day and I got bad score. It was pretty high, and I am not proud of it. Which never happened before because I'm such a bitch to my characters, the least thing I can expect is a random interner test told me 'You are too attached to your character'.
In other news, I make a major change in one of my key character from a book I'm currently writing. She was 7 years old, and I changed it to 17.
And the worst part is, all I have to do is change the narration and keep the dialouge. It still makes perfectly good sense, that it is a conversation between a grown up man and a teenager. I made this particular character wayyy too much of a smartarse for her age. Gee, what was I thinking?
I guess I'm getting worse at this. I can't get my characters right. How am I gonna write a story about them, then?
