Maureen Johnson: ASK AUNTIE MJ: ONE FLEW OVER THE NANOWRIMO NEST »

maureenjohnsonbooks:

saidreadertorider asked you:
Dear Auntie MJ, recently one of my best friends has started treating me like I’m insane because I talk about my characters as though they’re real people. How do I explain to him that I understand the line between fiction and reality but I like…

This is why I save most of my chattering about the opinions of my characters for other writers whose characters talk to them.

It is definitely a lot harder to have the bad stuff happen to characters who are your friends. This is one reason why some characters will never be my friends.
