Why am I not writing SciFi/Fantasy?

Sharelle Byars Moranville told me that she ran into someone who raved about her books. She was terrified that the person would see themselves in one of her not-so-cool characters. She was relieved when the person never mentioned it or seemed to notice similarity to that character.
Her take, "People never see themselves."
Still to be on the safe side, best to post that all characters are fictional etc etc... *smiling*

Along with writing - writers tend to be noticers. We notice how people around us behave, we notice interesting things in our lives, we notice odd things in the news - print or TV. So it follows that some of our characters will have a basis in real life. You just have to be careful and not make it an absolutely spot on representation. ::)
