Do you feel like your characters have a life of their own and you're just writing it all down, or do you feel like you are creating them as you go along?
Jillian Cantor
They absolutely feel like real people to me. When I'm in the middle of writing a draft, I think about my characters a lot as if they were real and sometimes even dream about them.

Jillian Cantor:
I am curious if any of this story was based upon actual people or events ? I enjoy books based on letters since both books I wrote were based on actual letters my grandmother had saved. You might enjoy her memoir " Elsie- Adventures of an Arizona Schoolteacher 1913-1916." I am now working on a historical novel, and those characters are so very vivid in my mind. I look forward to reading this book.
