But even so I feel like I know so much more about my characters from one little word, almost as if I know their true names. Arvid and Minka were hard because they are based off my to best friends in real life and I will not pretend I know enough by half to say their true, one-word essences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-79549012507010148412014-01-10T17:15:54.474-06:002014-01-10T17:15:54.474-06:00Love this.
