Is talking to your fictional characters the first sign of madness?

I just read a nice humorous dialogue between author Robert Burton Robinson, mystery writer, and one of his characters.

It made me laugh out loud and it’s so true that fictional characters become real to an author.

Over the years of writing free online fiction, my online fictional characters have become real for me too.

One character called Alice is nudging at my conciousness and niggling for me to record further exploits in her ordinary turned extraordinary suburban life.

It doesn’t fit in with what I am currently doing – but she keeps on nagging me.

Maybe I should just give in and get on with it.

Or do I need to seek medical help?

Bye for now
