Working on my third story, I find myself invested in my fictional character, my alter ego, Winter Jennings. Maybe over-invested.
Winter is my better angel, my inspiration to become the better person I imagine her to be.
The problem is, or could become, my fondness for Winter could affect my writing. How I describe her, what I have her doing. Or not doing. Rather than taking a writerly approach, I might be letting my emotions shape the character.
How do you boys deal with this?
