I've said before that I hear complete conversations in my head. No, I'm not crazy. I hear my characters conversing with one another, in my mind, at the oddest moments. I usually get to the computer as fast as I can so that I can write the scene down before I forget it. This happens often, much more often than I thought it ever would, but I've heard other writers say the same thing.
Well imagine my surprise when I get a phone call from one of my characters!
And I'm not kidding.
Again, I'm not crazy. It really happened. I can't give you all the details, but let's just say that I spoke with someone today that totally embodied Callum, at least over the phone. Had I not just "met" this person, I would have told him that I had an entire novel sitting at home, with his doppelganger as one of the stars. How crazy is that?
Which reminds me that I told him about this blog, using it as an example of my writing. He can see the real me here, whether he wants to or not. And now, I have apparently revealed how much of a true lunatic I am. If I haven't scared you yet, CB, I hope I can still help you with your honorable endeavors.
