Character...

I think a lot of writers have this problem (at least I hope...I don't want to be the crazy one right now): their characters start talking to them and telling them their story. It's like the writer isn't the one creating it, but the character is. The character just goes on and on about what's happened, what's happening, how things have or will turn out, etc.

I love it when my character does that, honestly. He certainly has a lot of interesting things to say and I'm all ears to listen. I even get to write some of it down. But...this is another problem that I have. When I get to a certain point...he just stops. He doesn't say anymore and he makes known the intention that he won't say more for a while.

Before (this sounds crazy) he was begging me to write his story and I complied very graciously...and now he won't even tell me what the hell is going on >D It's irritating! I want to write more of his stuff because it's so interesting!

I know he'll start talking soon, though. I guess if I take a better look at who he is, then it makes sense. He's an open book to few and he needs to collect himself often to get the words right. You should see him when he tries to tell his twin that he loves him...it's rather cute x3 He can't quite get the words out and he gets angry at himself AND his twin and he says "I love you" in anger and usu sally adds an awful nickname for his brother at the end of it xD Then he's all flushed and embarrassed and tries to make a quick escape...

I love him =D all of them actually. All of the characters. A few speak louder than others of course but I'm perfectly fine with that. They all find their voice at some point and I always learn so much from them when they do. It's fascinating and lovely.

I just hope I can prod THIS character into talking again...he can't leave everything the way they are. That's too cruel.
