Hve you ever loved a character so much you can't bear the thought of killing them

I know it will make for a good story if I kill one of my characters, but he's so great and I think I love him a little bit...........also, hi everyone isn't the writing life solitary? I never thought I would be able to spend so much time alone but I do and I am making really good progress with my book I think I am anyway, words are going on the page, hopefully one day someone will want to read them!

I think it's a good sign that you love him so much! That should come across in the writing! But that's the thing about writing - no one said that being God was an easy job! ;)

Actually, I sometimes wonder - are writers the Gods of their people, or the servants? Hmmmm....

Yes I have. Sometimes it's really a pain in the bum, but you know it might be a good idea or it could be just useless! Make sure first that you could do it and that it's the smartest idea!
