I find when im composição literária a story or novel, i tend to create characters that are the exact opposite of me. Do you? and why do you think that is?
not all the time , if you read my novels you'll think that I'm unfunny gloomy person and that's tottaly not me why I do that? , I guess I do that to creat the perfect character who match perfectly with the story line , when I want to write a story I tottaly forgot who I am but that doesn't mean that I don't give the character something I have cause if I didn't then I can't relate to the main character and I can't write my story with all my coração and soul and that will turn the novel from big crushing novel to a normal novel so yes I do that for my normal novels ,and for my big novels I like to give the character something from me with an odd touch to not talk about myself
My characters aw rarely different then I am. Some of their traits maybe different but I have to add variety. I think you create the exact opposite of yourself because maybe that is how you wish you were.
