YA Highway

Huh, I can honestly say I have never put someone I know in a book. Although the very first YA I wrote had a spaced out mom and an evil step father and my mom was convinced they were modeled after her and my stepfather! LOL

Here's mine:

I didn't participate on my blog because of all the Like Mandarin goings-on. But I have indeed written one horrible person (someone who remorselessly injured a family member) into a book of mine -- or rather, just his name. There are no similarities in any other way, other than mutual jerkishness. He'll never know, but there was some catharsis in it.

I picked out unfavourable characteristics of a former bully to inject into an antagonist and yes, it was very enjoyable!

I've never put someone "I" know in a book. My day job is a waitress so I've seen some of the weirdest people and I do have a habit of putting a peculiar dress sense or mannerism that I've seen from a customer in one of my characters.

I put so many of my relatives into my YA humor book that I will have to go into the witness protection program if it gets published.

I had to think about this one for awhile...

Every character in every story I've ever written is based off someone I know, or occasionally a combination of two or three people.

There's no way in the world I could make up the amazing and crazy people I know!

Ok mine is up and on time for once - it isn't very funny - and it is Long - sorry - I will be jumping all around to you guys later - got to go for a walk and decide it its staying up - way to much stuff in it - I am not sure if its worth sharing - let me know if it's helpful or too much.

Am I horrible for wanting to Sharpie a comma on that lady's shirt??

It feels like it's been forever since I've participated. I notice that I tend to skip the ones regarding reading YA books and stick to the writing ones. LOL. I could participate in this one, though.
