Then I do dumb things like look at the desktop collage I made for them, and I get sad. I can't help it, because I do know they aren't real, but they are fully developed and real characters for me for at least six months, living constantly in my head. I know my characters better than I know my neighbors. So I guess I'm allowed a little bit of silliness. (late response)

I get both excited and a bit sad when a book is nearing THE END. :) I’m much the same way as a writer…even when I’m not writing my characters continue to talk in my head, moving the story forward to the point I either have to jot something down or go and write the scene.
