My answer is that my characters ARE real people in my mind--themselves--so they aren't modeled on anyone else but themselves.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-17967770669542325512012-01-03T21:28:52.249-05:002012-01-03T21:28:52.249-05:00Good post, Jennifer.

The funny thing about it, is the people who are the jerks in my books never recognize themselves.Deborah Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575491644343480392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-15298191637121333882012-01-03T18:13:58.925-05:002012-01-03T18:13:58.925-05:00Jennifer, I have done that "movie" thing...Jennifer, I have done that "movie" thing to fall asleep for as long as I can remember.

I told a friend that I envisioned some of her mannerisms when I was writing Poppy's wicked stepmother. My friend said she "would rather be" Daisy, Poppy's cousin and best friend. I said, "Okay, you can be Daisy." :-)<br /><br />p.s. What is it with brothers? Mine hasn't read my book either.Robin Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373722202559066388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-8926903870845939812012-01-03T11:45:48.304-05:002012-01-03T11:45:48.304-05:00Jennifer, I have long struggled with insomnia as w...Jennifer, I have long struggled with insomnia as well. I often use those wakeful hours to think through what I want to write the next day, and in the morning I think about it again before getting out of bed.
