"About My Characters" Text

My characters are my favorite part of my writing. Second to the Lord, my characters are the heart of my writing. I honestly feel my characters say things better than I do. I know I am the one that writes them. But I never feel like I control my writing. I go with the inspiration and the ideas. I always make sure I stay true to the characters. Some of my characters are so strong in my head and heart. I want to have the heart, love, peace, balance, and the dedication (to the Lord then to people) of John James, the focus and dedication of Jye, the emotional strength of Kye, the generosity and humbleness of Ty, plus the wisdom, understanding, sweetness of Gabriel. Also the loyalty of all these characters. I have a lot of characters. These five are some of my favorites. Ty and Gabriel are my absolute favorites. Ty, Angela, Nick, and Jeremy are in aandll my stories. Gabriel has been in every story since he was created. For most of my characters, I don't know where the inspiration came from. Only a few were named after anyone. Most of the names came from baby name type sites. All my characters are 100% fiction. They are not meant to be anyone else. The only exception to that is when I create a fictional version of the cat I had or the dogs my family had. A few times I have put a fictional version of myself in my writing. Those are the only times my characters are not fiction and created by me.
