Today, maybe half of my active characters have tragedies in their backstories, but they're really different so it's not too obvious :D Q40: Have you ever written yourself in a story? A: As mentioned above, my characters are all aspects of myself, so technically you could say that! Q41: Do you usually unintentionally make a side character more interesting than a main character?
