Is anyone like me. Squirming when writing a torture scene?
I hate putting my characters through pain. I know I'm the writer and all, but I've invested too much into my characters that I start to see them in my head like proper peeps. :flushed:
So when one of them goes through pain, I can't help but want to write it off quickly and slap a band aid on the poor dude. I'm god of the book, so I must write the whole story. Still...
I'm a sad person :pensive:
Veronica8 then I'm an evil person. I just throw my characters into a setting and let their decisions lead to their life experiences. Sadly my dark novel has a lot of trauma embedded into the core of my poor mc. Although I dont make it apparent since the world he has to survive through is overall corrupted in the plain sense.
I just see him through his existence like me rather then a son or some one I care about. My characters are extensions of me and reflections of others. The more I learn about people the more inclined I am to developing new characters. I'm weird. I'm writing and visualizing stories, in my head 24/7.
LostInFictions You are truly lost in the fiction

Veronica8 I guess lol. My novels are just a series of decisions. To kill or not. To save or not. To take a risk or not. Only factor that drives the story is the characters personality, and influential factors.
If we have a prideful, arrogant, stubborn mc what will it take to make him say he is wrong. How would that experience affect him/her.
It's like living a alternate life
Primate Haha. True that. I don't generally get involved but when I do, I can literally smile, blush, laugh and cry while reading and writing, both.
I empathize deeply with my characters, to the point where something bad happening to one of them can mess me up for a while. I think it's a necessary part of being a writer to be able to feel what your characters are feeling.
dang. yall are good people.
I have fun when i write these scenes. :grimacing:
No, but I have to admit thwt I wasn't this emotional until some stuff happened in life. Besides, I generally blame this ridiculously increased emotional attachment on my medication. Back then, I would be amused with anyone telling me that he/she cried while watching a movie. It was beyond me at that point to understand the emotional attachment to the fiction.
I've grown attached to my characters, which makes me feel bad when drama happens to them. Though in a way, empathizing with them makes me feel the moment and pass on how the characters feel into words.
You're not the only one. I'm evil enough to let my MC die as a single man in his first life. 
I mean, the MC in my current novel died a virgin when he was beheaded in a fiery car explosion.
But that wasnt horrifying. It was hilarious.
Haha, now I don't know whether to take comfort in that or feel bad about your MC.
You a bad man, Clowniac! 
Hm. I like to start at my characters childhoods so there is always the chance they die before they achieve anything in life. Hehe

poor MC. Rest in peace, not all in pieces.
