OCTOBER QUESTION: Have you ever slipped any of your personal information into your characters, either by accident or on purpose?
My Answer - Yes, there is a little of me in every heroine I create, a little of my husband in every hero, and a little of anyone who aggravates me in my villains ;-)
How about you? Do you ever include personal details in your character creation?

I promise I won't aggravate you!
Oh, yeah, villains. Yup, people that tick me off become great fodder for characters.
Think we use our life experiences as a basis for our stories, Sylvia. Even though I write for children, I use memories of my own childhood, and the time spent teaching young children, as content for my books :0)
