I love delving into their souls and discovering things about them I never would have guessed. That's the bizarre part of writing that freaks non-writers out when you tell them about it. They can't understand how I could NOT know something about MY characters, lol. <br /><br />So yeah.

I say paper in quotes because it's generally the computer screen. I hate writing by long hand. I think that is the best part for me.
