You’ve read the title of this guest post and I feel the universal cringe! If one of your fictional characters is inspired by someone in your real life, either a lot or a little, you’re bound to wonder WHAT WILL THEY THINK? Or even better (worse?) WILL THEY RECOGNIZE THEMSELVES. I don’t base characters on real people, but I do cherry pick bit of people I know, and people I see out in the wild and give those characteristics to the folks in my books. I want them to be real, right?
Today, Eleni Gage joins us again to share her own experience. Brave woman, I say. Brave woman.
Brave woman with a gorgeous book cover, that is!
Please welcome Eleni Gage to WFW, and share your thoughts in the comments!
