Lauren Strasnick on “When you’re writing a book and making up characters, do you feel like you become that character, as well as that character becomes a part of you?”

It’s a funny thing, writing. It feels like reading. Or movie-watching. You’re fully engaged – you feel what your characters feel – but do I ever feel as if I am one with my MC? Not entirely. Still, I get to make people up and create a world I might want to inhabit. Something I might feel I’m lacking – I can create and engage with! The best is writing cute, broken, boys to crush on. Or, okay – right now? I’m writing about a drained indoor pool with muraled walls and ceilings. Do I own an indoor pool? No. But I can write one!
