Unfortunately, I think she is correct. What we write seems to be something people read as windows into our souls. <br /><br />It is worth the risk to get other messages out and express your words though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656368340547599511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-91663018665742481972013-01-11T13:23:24.906-05:002013-01-11T13:23:24.906-05:00Isis, oh no!

I haven't written any romance books yet but I've had readers say similar things, that they actually think my work might be autobiographical! Since some of my characters do some pretty messed up stuff, that makes me gulp. But it's unavoidable. There are always going to be people who think you're writing about yourself, just as there are people who mistake actors for the soap opera characters they play. It's a danger of the job, as you say!<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-87989474168857736012013-01-10T19:26:23.604-05:002013-01-10T19:26:23.604-05:00Oh yeah - It's a great header!Oh yeah - It's a great header!Chancelethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880082145266359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-7755524981450774352013-01-10T07:29:12.161-05:002013-01-10T07:29:12.161-05:00oooh, love the badge! ;D

That&#...Isis, I know what you mean about that fear. That's a major reason why I sort of stopped writing for a time in college -- at least, stopped working on my creative fiction projects. Then I wrote a fictional short story that my readers (fellow students in a creative writing class) were completely off-base about: they assumed the MC was tentatively entering the overtures of a lesbian relationship, when in fact I was trying to show an emerging friendship with a popular girl as the two bonded over boy problems.<br /><br />So I've concluded that it's unlikely that people are going to actually see, you know, my <i>soul</i> and all its secrets shining through my stories. And I sort of stopped worrying about it as much.<br /><br />I do still wonder sometimes about the horrible scenes, where a character behaves terribly, and what it might say about me that I can invent someone like that. Then I remember J.K. Rowling invented Voldemort, and she's no evil witch, so I'm probably fine. ;)Callie Leuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535505792102190920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-68034471436907331842013-01-08T12:44:54.919-05:002013-01-08T12:44:54.919-05:00Jeremy really did us proud with the badge this yea...Jeremy really did us proud with the badge this year! :)DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-39959464106609590262013-01-08T12:27:25.943-05:002013-01-08T12:27:25.943-05:00OMG, those movie lines are hilarious!
