Oh yes, indeed I do. Heh. Many aspects of my own personality come through loud and clear in the sisters Graysith and Galen; particularly Graysith.Hey, my car's license doesn't read GRYSITH for nothing, you know. Personally, I find it next to impossible for a writer to completely remove himself from the characters s/he is writing about. I think a bit of myself comes through in everyone I write for: Yaoksi's devil-may-care attitude, Galen's spunk, Graysiths flaring temper and steady love, M'wonBo'o's steadfastness to those he must care for, Sorben's tendency to switch horses in midstream, Aelvedaar's wisdom and teachings (Ok, so maybe I'm not wise yet, but I try to teach, heh) and so on. Some writers DO manage to simply remain aloof from their characters (I am not referring to anyone here, but am referring to some books I have read). Alas; this comes screaming through in the stilted actions of those characters. It is said that writers write best when they write about something they know about and have a keen interest in. What better than themselves, vicariously? -------------------- I ride the Stormcloud and the Night!
