Writing is one of the most difficult tasks/hobbies that I have ever taken on. It is grueling and mostly thankless. So far all I have done is entertain myself, which for now has been good enough, but I have a thirst to be published. I am starting to fall in love with the characters that are coming to life on the pages as if I know them. They each have their own personality and quirks that make them unique. Generally I like most of them and wouldn't want to see any harm come to them.
I think back to when I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and how J K Rowlings had to kill off one of the characters. In an interview she had stated that she had become extremely upset and even cried doing it. I never understood that until now. I couldn't imagine taking one of the characters that I created and just killing them. I would be heartbroken.
