Does anyone else ever find themself thinking like their character?
me!! *waves hand around enthusiastically like a little first grader that really wants attention*
err not as enthusiastic as mimi, but yes, all the time.
It depends. Though I do feel like my roleplay character Jett is the dark side of me which is really depressing when you think about it.
NEVER!! My characters think like me. XDNo really, I completely understand. Though idk, I often try to incorporate some of myself or someone ik into the characters, so that might be why....
ME!! *sobbing into a tissue as I have been for the past hour*
my characters are really similar to me, and i find myself doing the same thing as them a lot! but no, not as much as wanting suicide XD veronica =P
I was thinking like this one character,Sean, today. He's a very deep thinker he can probably rant about a small topic for atleast 6 to 8 sentences. He is also suicidal and comes up with insane and strange ways to hurt himself.
Oh and I have more power over my characters than my characters have on me (usually)

Adrienne, were you talking about one of your characters when you said, 'veronica'? Just wondering, because if you weren't...well, that would be odd, because that's my name...
That's what I was wondering too....Roni, are you secretly suicidal and have told no one but Adrienne...???
Wow, so I'm not alone on this. Okay, good, 'cause people always give me these weird looks when I say something random like, "No Daniel. I can't believe you did that."
Then they ask you who "Daniel" is, and you tell them it's a character from your book.
Then they just stare at you for a really long time....
Mod
almost alwwaysi do believe it's rather odd...
my characters are kinda like me. sarcastic, but likes to talk to people. except im a LOT meaner to my friends. itd kinda suck 2 b mean 2 ppl i dont kno on here. tht doesnt make sense but watev. its wat my character would do...
I want to post my story on Goodreads but 1. its not done and 2. i don't want to post it until I have the major ending desisions decided.
I find my characters taking over my mind, my fingers, and my keyboard, as I write...does that count?I was telling my friend about it the other day, and he just looked at me and mouthed the words "Crazy Lady." Like I couldn't tell what he was saying, geez! :]
Mod
Sir Lot does that, a lot. He is the original "bad boy!"

I have this one demon who has now suddenly become a major character in my story!! He doesn't even have a name yet!!!!
Mod
HOLY CRAP!! JEFF IS NOT BEING LIKE JEFF!!!!Well he is...but not Jeff,Jeff. He's being the son Rosier always wanted.
I just cut 20,000 words of Lot and Morgause's back story out of the second novel. It was difficult, and now I know he is going to retaliate. I hate it when a character "gets back" at me for cutting his scenes. Sigh.
In my story, there is a character that is supposebly some big mass murderer (wich she is not) and ends up joining the heroes, but now in it, most of them hate her, and I am too! But is weird because she's the coolest one and I love her!
Mod
yes my friend says i have the same hair as one of the charcters in fma. (Ed)wich is NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG really? Weird...
Mod
UMMM... YOU DO. its actually more like honenhims hair... I do think like my character, but thats usually to find out something devious...

j.k. rowling cried when she killed off sirius, y'know... said in an interview... but geez, she better have cuz that was one of the most cruel and heartless killings in any book- sirius was awesome!!!!anyway, good luck getting over the crippling depression of having ruthlessly killed three terrific characters.....
well you could do one of those "d'oh! it was all just a dream!" things, but they're annoying as....something veeeery annoying...
Hey SBG I understand how you feel. The loss of a good friend is never easy(and lets be honest, all of our characters are good friends, even the bad guys).If you really can't get the character out of your head...perhaps you can use him in flash-backs to move your story forward. For as long as we remember someone, they never truly die :]
It is a good solution SBG...and not nearly as cheesy as a bringing back the characters to life :]
Well...there is always the other alternative...Go back and rewrite you story!
I have done that before. It is a pain...but if you really feel that your story "needs" at least one of the characters, go back and re-write that characters fate [just be sure you let him or her know that you are giving them a second chance, so they better not mess up :].
It is the beauty of writing :]

Mod
And then this other time, I felt really, REALLY depressed, almost suicidal. I went home and starting the next chapter for Reawakened Soul, and he was trying to commit suicide!
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
