When writing you get attached to people as if they're real, cause in some sense they ARE real.<br /><br />@Caledonia Lass: Don't worry, I love loopy comments. And I love your puns.<br /><br />That's why I tend to write about the Darker Side of Life, because life can be dark, and it's in our face ALL the time.<br /><br />Christine: Good point. Having good endings are important.<br /><br />Falen: Haha... I am so tempted to write a book where every chapter is a new character because the last one was killed off. I think I would annoy people to death with it, though.<br /><br />@Tamika: Thanks for stopping by :D Writing good death scenes can be mad hard. I was re-reading over one of mine and realized how corny it was. Bleh.<br /><br />@Sonshine: Please do. I love your random comments.<br /><br />And: Ahahahahahaha...

If I don't kill ...Okay, here's the thing... If I don't kill off my characters and let them live peaceful lives with warm fuzzy feelings, I might just have to retch.<br /><br />If I am building up and building up and I've got two factions facing off and suddenly one just shrugs and says, "Okay, you win. You could beat us up." I'd really have to kill someone. (ok no not really)<br /><br />My theory is this. I could never, ever kill in real life. However, death surrounds us. In books, in television, in movies and in real life. I let my characters do the killing. You don't even have to go into detail (however, details can be quite amusing. Did I say amusing? Ahem.) you can leave people hanging, with the impression someone has just died.<br /><br />Sadly, I do enjoy killing my characters. I don't do it repeatedly, that'd be overkill. Get it? XD Yes, it's late and I'm loopy. ;)Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437645392949660696.post-48802995667147776572010-04-14T04:57:15.489-04:002010-04-14T04:57:15.489-04:00I just can't bring myself to kill a character....I just can't bring myself to kill a character. hard enough to talk about someone who's died a violent death.<br /><br />And I love your profile.<br /><br />~ RaynaNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437645392949660696.post-39495708882244351952010-04-14T02:41:40.524-04:002010-04-14T02:41:40.524-04:00Hmm how to answer this.

What she finds disturbing is how much easier it gets to take a life each time she does it.<br />I on the other hand would make a terrible killer, I find myself in tears every time I kill on of my significant characters.<br /><br />Al<br /><br /><a href="http://publish--or--perish.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Publish or Perish</a>Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437645392949660696.post-6118282384097893982010-04-13T23:36:50.024-04:002010-04-13T23:36:50.024-04:00My characters only kill for good and noble reasons...My characters only kill for good and noble reasons. ::snickers:: No, not really. :)<br /><br />One of my villains is a psychopath. He kills for the sheer pleasure of it and masks it with weak ideas of vengeance. One of my villains has a twisted sense of nobility and only kills out of his "moral" code.<br /><br />I have a hero who kills by accident, the first time. The second time she means it--but it's to protect her family, her children.<br /><br />I do have a problem with characters, any characters, killing for no reason. But, like you, I have serious issues with heroes giving up to the bad guy without a fight. Seriously? Not in this universe? Not me. I'd fight. <br /><br />But then, I've got a lot to fight for. :)Cheri Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102570290810616371noreply@blogger.com
