    Yeah, this happens sometimes with creative loners. We create stories and characters a lot, and sometimes we get a really strong connection to some of the characters. This kind of thing can also happen if you feel a strong connection to a character that someone else created. Its called soulbonding.

    I believe that characters do have their own personality and opinion on how the story should go. Atleast indepth characters do. I can't say for sure if its a seperate personality created by the mind, or just a manifestation of one of our personality traits.

    Wow. I completly agree and have found myself thinking many times if only they were real to then find myself imagining and hearing them in my head. Mostly it's replaying of what I read in the book but there are some characters that I've found I have soo much in common with that it's actually kind of scary.

    I think that the characters have their own personalities that when we write them or connect with them in other's books they manifest themselves into our minds and our personalities.

    Try a web with all of the details/connections. At least get it laid out so you don't end up writing it one way and then another later on and not realizing it.

    I've heard it before. Can't say it happens to me too strongly.

    I would say that the joke (if you watch much/any standup) about guys seeing something and wanting to emulate it is kind of similar (and true). AKA see a movie with ninjas and want to do kung-fu. Something like that happens to me when I write--I kind of get into the feelings of the character. Almost the same thing as listening to a certain song that makes me feel sad/crazy/etc. :p

    I guess that's just another way to say it.

    I feel the same way. After I write my story I short of can't really get out of that mind set. Watching a movie is the same for me. After I watch movies like Catwoman or Electra or anything like that I almost feel like I'm them. I don't know. I just weird. But it does help me write.

    Everyone is weird in some way. Show me someone normal. ;)

    And don't say Jesus wasn't weird. He hung out with lepers and prostitutes.

    I'm still online. -_-' I'm SUPPOSED to be catching up on sleep, seeing as it's my day off, but instead I'm just wasting valuable sleep time. I'll regret it on Friday when I have to go back to work, and I'm feeling like a zombie.
