I'm working through the most difficult part of my story. Why this is so difficult for me, I'm not sure. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that my characters have grown so much in my mind. They are like real people to me, completely fictional, but real. I find myself worrying about doing their story justice. I want them to be seen as real. I want their concerns and their emotions to feel real. Some days when I work on the more painful parts of the story, I feel like I've been through an emotional ringer myself. I hope that this is a good thing. I hope this means that this means that they are coming alive on the pages I am writing and that they are likable and relatable characters, at the very least.
