The Human Condition and All Its' Experience (as we write)

     When I write I try to create characters that feel real. I assume this is every writer's motivation. As writers we want our characters to mirror people, not just empty unrealistic templates. We want to dive deep, sift through our own souls and catch what may feel real to our readers, to ourselves. As humans we feel a multitude of emotion. We often act predictable. We often act unpredictable. We are unique, yet the same. It's a balance of projection, a responsibility to ourselves, to our characters, and to those who enjoy them.
