I'm not insane, I'm a writer
Oct. 22nd, 2008 10:50 pmWriters come in a wide variety of personality types, but at our core we're not quite like everyone else. We are creators. And sometimes the worlds we create are so powerful that they supersede the ordinary reality that others enjoy.
Take this morning for instance--as I was walking through the parking lot I was surprised by a 2009 Subaru Forester. "Oh, no," I thought to myself, "That's clearly not the kind of car John would drive. He must have bought one of the older models."
In mind mind, not only is my character John real, but the car he drives is very real. And it clearly isn't one of the prettied up new models. Fortunately I also know that John is frugal, so he would have bought a used car rather than new. Phew! One problem solved, at least for now.
