Romance Writer's Weekly: Three Burning Questions Answered (May 27, 2014)

Read Now

Romance Weekly's Authors answer questions about serious and non-so-serious aspects of writing. Enjoy! This week the questions come from Kate Robbins!

1. How much of yourself do you write into your characters? Or do you write characters completely opposite to you?
None are completely the current me but each character has some aspect of me. Even the villains or antagonists have some trait of mine. Well, except for the ghost I'm currently writing.

2. Has your writing helped you see events in your own life clearer?
When I started writing, I accessed issues I had locked away. Immersing myself in the scene and the heroine's viewpoint, I realized I had held resentments. Dredging up negative emotions and pouring them into my characters helps me release them.

3. Have you written a character with more of your personal characteristics than any other? What are they?
All of my heroines are partially me. The one character who is most me is Caitlyn from my paranormal romance which is on the back burner. She is strong, independent and sensitive. She's way nicer than I am, not nearly as sarcastic. She's like the zen me. Hopefully soon I can share her with the world.

Next on this blog hop is Leslie Hachtel, author of historical romances. Drop in to discover if her sexy heroines are borne from her personality.

Isn't it nice how we can make ourselves nicer in our characters and lose the 'icky' bits

It's fun to write villains and antagonists. Sometimes they do the stuff we wish we could do but of course don't because we are 'reasonable'. :)

Putting a 'zen' you into a character is a clever way to describe it :D

I think we do put a bit of ourselves into all our characters. Great blog!!!

Why isn't the ghost you?

It seems we all put part of ourselves in our characters, intentionally or not. Makes me wonder just how much we reveal that others figure out about us.

I really enjoyed reading your post, and like you (question #2) I also find issues I've been burying when I write my characters. Your website is very lovely!
