One of my characters has been giving me a little trouble. One day, once upon a time, I decided to have it out with him and wrote him a note. He responded. No, you may not doubt my sanity.
Dear Character,
You are as one-dimensional as a piece of paper and have less personality than a cardboard cut-out. You are giving me a headache.
I do not thank you for it.
Your Author.

To my Author,
Who created me?
No love.

Dear Character,
Who rebelled?
Author.
of words & books 
Haha, I love this! 😀
This character is … grrr. But actually, he’s developing from these exercises I’ve been doing, perhaps changing into someone for another book. It’s quite fun, but boy he’s becoming a character all right. : )
Ah, I love those characters that you love so much but you just want to strangle them… 😀
Yes, he just needed a 3D personality, and then I started writing a list from him requesting traits from his author and … well, he is a person and I’m not sure what to do with him! 😀
That’s awesome! I have very few characters that have actually come to life for me. But when they do, it’s wonderful. 😉
Agreed 😀
