I don't think I'd base a character after my husband.<br /><br />Hi Mel<br />I don't thin we can help sticking a little of ourselves into the story.<br /><br />Hi Julia<br />I agree. Backstory is difficult to handle and little bits at a time is a good idea.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for stopping by.<br />NancyN. R.

If anything they are based on little bits of me peppered here and there. <br />Although, I do have a story brewing in my mind that is based off of a relationship in my life. However, it will be all about the characters and who they are.<br /><br />If I were to use your friend's story, it may be only a snippet here and there to build the character from small experiences. Not here story as a whole. But that's just me.<br /><br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519655950073446857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515938238151905083.post-91711799079308673382013-10-03T13:03:20.385-06:002013-10-03T13:03:20.385-06:00I do base some of my characters on people I know. ...I do base some of my characters on people I know. However, I LOVE character development and lots of my characters are of my own making. While I do find bits and pieces of me in some of my characters, well, that tends to happen.

LOL<br />I haven't written much fiction, but I did write a book in the 80s. It reached the phone-call-from-the-publisher stage, but was eventually turned down because my secondary characters were too overpowering. I had written too much of myself into the heroine's best friend.<br />So, a word to the wise from a failed author...don't do what I did. If this helps any of your blog readers, I'm happy.<br />KKay L. Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966266404058177742noreply@blogger.com
