I love... What's gratifying to me is when you make/create a character and a human being, a person who lives entirely and who has their own existence, just merely from the words on a page.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to be another person and create what it would be like to be that person.
What's gratifying for me and interesting is that people are picking up on exactly what I want them to, which is that this is energizing people, and making them want to make stories.
I love being able to create something from the page and bring it to life.
I love writing, and I love the solitude of the writing, in that you're just sitting there creating something from nothing, or a new story for characters you love and care about.
I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.
Human character is just endlessly fascinating, and there is no character who is one thing any more than any one person is just one thing. As you work on a character, he/she is revealed more and more. That's what I continue to love about the work.
I love to reinvent myself, and that's because I am a very free person. I do what I feel, and I love who I am.
I enjoy being characters rather than myself.
I try to create characters that I am fascinated by on some level or intrigued by or can't stand.
What's gratifying is that it's my books that are being read and reread until they're battered over the years. I love that.
