Emotional about your characters?

If I could I would like this like Dragonball Z. My like has gone over 9,000! I like this like the sun misses the moon. To like or not to like that is the question. How many ways can I like thee let me count the ways. John I've said this to somone else and I'm adding you. Birds aren't free like you and me.

My blood starved vampire loves your sentiment. My poetic vampire loves your words. My heartfelt vampire loves your sentiment. Angelique just loves the blood that pumps in your heart.

Did I say sentiment twice? Sometimes when your crazy you hear a word you like you repeat it. For instance. Blood... Blood... Blood...Blood...Blood... Blood... Blood... Blood... Blood...

Wonderful words. I would love to read anything you have to offer. I'm going on vacation tomorrow 3 am in the morning. I'm going to have a weeks worth of time on my hands. Also @Cave Troll i would love to read yours as well.

I'll post elsewhere about my trip maybe somewhere general.

I wasn't asking why things weren't getting published - I agree, that's not a goal for everyone, and even for those for whom it is a goal, it can be a long path to get there. But I'm not seeing a lot of things getting finished. As I said, people are still talking about the same characters they were talking about years ago. That's curious, to me.

 

Your published!?! Congratulations CT I'll be buying this for sure! And letting you know what I think during my vacation barring time.

 

Self-pubbed, and I hope you enjoy it.

 

I will! You write like yourself of course but when you described your characters I was reminded of my favorite author 1 of the 7 favorite authors. Simon R Green. I can think of no higher praise than that. Will buy soon making a post about vacation somewhere in lounge.

 

Thank you. I have heard I have similar type characters to an older well know author, from
the ladies in group.

 

It takes passion to love a book. It takes discipline and skill to finish a book.

I can’t talk, though. I’m still stuck on this fucking con-man-slash-comedian story.

 

Absolutely - I've got passion coming out of my pores, but I'm a little light on the whole skills and discipline, which is why it's taken me 3 years to finish my current WIP. Though to be fair I have finished a couple other things in the meantime, but man, that's a long time for me to finish a 90K word contemporary romance.

 

I'm not sure I understand. Are we talking about the forum, or about writers you in in real life? Or both?

Technically, you* could say I'm still talking about the same characters I was talking about years ago. Originally every short story I came up with involved them. I have 2 unpublished novels about them, I'm writing my third. The "younger" of the 2 finished novels is at least 8 years old, because I had neurosurgery at 26, and I haven't written much between that surgery, and now, at 34. My mind was - always has been - crowded with ideas for stories but they were mutually exclusive, and it never occurred to me to have one set with my "usual" characters, and form more character sets for others, and in the end, it developed into writer's block.

But that's me. I can't speak for anyone else. Perhaps life got in the way, perhaps they had/have Writer's Block

*general You, not personal you.

 

If you are not emotional about your charectors you are in the wrong buisness!
