  1. Interesting post, Jacquie. Thanks for sharing.
    Usually I actively try to keep “me” out of my characters. The exception is the “Atonement” series. It began as a Novel Writing Month book. To write that fast, I realized I’d have to let the characters, particularly the narrator have a good deal of me in them… their reactions to things at least. None of them “are” me… but Ralda has very similar attitudes, and what I call “tier-2” character Bethany as well.
    Happy St. Patrick’s Day hugs! ☘️

    1. Hi Teagan, that’s interesting. I wonder though if the ‘you’ that shows up in your writing isn’t the humor and kindness you bring to your characters?
      That’s my favorite aspect of your writing, and it’s unique to you!
      Have a great day, my friend!

  2. One of the main characters in my “Immortal Relations” series is called Gary Logan. Feel free to compare that to my own name to gain some idea of who he is based on. BINGO! My own background in the military (as well as actions my fellow military members were prepared for) make up a large part of the stories added to by my uninhibited imagination. (-:
