I have so many goals as a writer. One of them is to make my characters SO real, that if they get killed, my reader will cry like I did when Sergeant Quick died in Queen Sheba's Ring by H. Rider Haggard.
I was in love with that character. Not 'in love' like you might think. But I was in love with him as a writer. I loved his character. The way Henry Haggard described him. He was so real.
Yes, maybe to you I am being a little dramatic. But there is nothing quite so tragic as the killing off of a favorite character.
And unfortunately, sometimes it just must be done. I have to do some of that in my current story...
Why am I telling you all this? I'm not really sure... That was just something I wanted to share.
And so here are some things that maybe you, if you are a writer, can relate with.

Okay, the last one made my eyes bug out. YES, yes, yes. Seriously, those sites help so much!
"Your" instead of "you're"... I don't have to tell YOU about it. We sit and chop it up together already.
Writer's block... Please don't make me cry thinking about it! xD
I was JUST talking to my mom and sister about how bad it is when your favorite character dies. Which, for me, is all the time. I don't know why my favorites always die, but they do. And i never get over it:( I cry for days...
And as for the rest of your post... YES. Yes to everything. Hehe:)
Ugh... I love being a writer but I hate the side affects:-/ lol;)
I totally understand
Um, YES!!! To all of these! They are too true! Writers unite :D
I can relate to lots of these! :)
