S.G. Browne - Author discussion

In writing, would you say your character/s reflect you a lot, a little, or not at all?

Considering that my main characters are telling the story in first person, it's difficult not to have at least some of me bleed through. So I'd say they reflect me a little, with a bit of a nudge toward a lot. But only a bit.

My characters allow me to share perspectives I might not otherwise say or to take positions that aren't necessarily my own. Play the devil's advocate. Or perhaps take an opinion to the extreme.

I can't recall who said it, but I think the best way to explain it is that I am in all of my characters, but none of them are me.
