I’m a blank canvas that I can paint however I desire. For the first time ever, I get to be the character in my own fantasy land.

I do believe that characters in novels belong to their writers and their readers pretty equally. I've learned a lot of things about the characters I write from people who read about them. Readers expand them in ways I don't think of and take them to places I can't go.

There's power in stories, though. That's all history is: the best tales. The ones that last. Might as well be mine.

Look seeker, if you love a character, you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer. Maybe even throw in a heroic death!

Fictional character;Simply means to portray an attitude alien to yours,just to deceive the public.

Writing without revising is the literary equivalent of waltzing gaily out of the house in your underwear.
