Hi everybody!
I have finally come up with a good plot, setting, supporting characters etc for my current novell. The problem now is the main character. I have no idea how to make him so i thought about adding some attributes and/or personal touches to him from myself and my own life. Maybe i could borrow him some of my own fears, goals in life, hopes or dreams...
But I´ve reached a point where it feels like im writing about myself and no longer about a fictional person. Im placing myself in the characters place in my novell!
How far do you think the writer can go about adding some "personal" touches to a character before it turns into himself? Should it be done at all?
