I've finally picked up writing again for the first serious time in a couple of years at least, working on the third book in my trilogy. There are a few things I've noticed that I think are kind of funny. For one, my characters in these books have basically developed their own personalities. Sure, I had a little bit of direction to begin with, but I had never from the start planned them out. Their individual (and distinct) personalities have arisen just out of my writing and stuck with them. Now I can look at them and tell you what each one is like, but they basically formed themselves. Another thing is how each character has a different part of me. I didn't realize it and didn't intend it, but each one of the major, recurring characters has a personality trait of mine. Somehow, I put a little bit of myself into each one. And for this too, I can go back and see how my personality has ended up in them, but I definitely didn't plan it from the start. By reading my books, you can discover more about me that most people would otherwise be able to. Just thought that was interesting.
