Igor Kurdukov asked Allyson E. Machate:

Do you get emotional as you get into the stories of your books through the writing process?

Allyson E. Machate Hi Igor. Honestly, no. I mean, I do get excited as things unfold, especially if I'm having a good day and really love what I've written, or when a revision has things falling nicely into place. I love that feeling when things start coming together--when you're working on a draft and you cross a kind of turning point where suddenly it starts to come together as a book! I've heard some authors report feeling very attached to characters or stories and getting very emotional when they have to, say, kill someone off, but that hasn't been my experience. I can totally see how that could happen for someone, though.
