I filled out index cards with their vital statistics,dislikes,weaknesses,quirks, and strengths.I fell in love and found years later I still love my main characters.I may not like some of the villains but I know who they are and what made them a villain.Do I still care about my characters? Absolutely! I find myself thinking about them.They are like old friends,who you may not see anymore but still think about and wonder how they are doing.I have to love or care about my characters to make them believable in my stoies.Owldreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079396268509388103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343503076555756967.post-68420447596663684442011-05-28T06:36:45.912-04:002011-05-28T06:36:45.912-04:00Yeah, my protag in my first book remodeled a dilap...Yeah, my protag in my first book remodeled a dilapidated Victorian near Los Olivos.
