Damaged People (8)

Here's another bit of pure fantasy.
The great thing about writing a character is being able to make them be and do everything you want. With real people it's much more haphazard. How many times would you have done something different if you had the chance ? 
When you write it you can change it anytime you want to make it fit the situation or mood. I write a lot by mood. I like to idealize situations and my characters are based on real people but they're doing things they would never do in real life which makes them my characters. Do you see what I mean ?
I've taken terrible liberties with them and I could maybe be sued if I ever tried to publish anything but for my own guilty pleasure and to get this out of my head I'll put this here for safe keeping.










Fortunately I have books coming out by two of my favorite authors this week so I'll get a chance to read the professionals.
Maybe it'll help me write better , or maybe I'll stop having this damn story run thru my head and be able to get on with other things. 


Cheers , Amelie
