Fictional Character Abuse

I'm just wondering... am I the only one that tends to take out my aggravations on my fictional characters? When I am feeling sad or sickly or depressed or unhappy the fictional characters get abuse after abuse piled on them. The poor things, it's no wonder I spend half my time looking for them, they're hiding from me in fear of what might happen to them.

Anyone else abuse their fictional characters to make them feel better about what's going on in their lives or with their being down with the flu or ???

For me, it tends to go the other way. If I don't spend time with them, I get grumpy. And I'll never forget the time I went over to my cousin's house for dinner and she looked at me and said, "You're all punchy. Are you working on a fight scene?"

Funnily enough, I was.


Hi, Sandra! I got your note over at West of Mars; I'd LOVE to exchange links! I'll put you on my blogroll now.

Kewl. B-) Thanks, Susan!

I tend to reflect what I am eating in my stories. One of my friends that reads bits of scenes over the IM as I am working can always tell when I grab something to eat because suddenly the characters are getting something to eat - and 98% of the time it is exactly what I had grabbed to eat. O:-)
