Who are your muses for characters?

30 Dec 2015

I was watching "Style" by Taylor Swift and the guy is gorgeous. It got me thinking who are your muses or sources when describing your characters?

I always write about people I know. The only thing I make up is some of the things they do.

For me in my stories, the secondary characters are either based on some ideal or on people I know or used to know. I change a lot of the details, but try to stay true to who they were, while making new characters.

Always girls I know, almost always utterly aloof and unattainable in reality, increasingly completely and off limits to me. I live out my fantasies in my own mind and commit them to paper. I have never written a single female character that is not based heavily on a real person I am lusting over at the time. It's my way of working it out, I think.

I have one story here where I based the main character on a younger version of me. I have a Young Adult novel-length piece where I based a character on my brother, who died.

Aside from that, every character is pure fiction. I might use a picture of someone to help me get the physical description right. I have no mind's eye at all, so pictures are a crutch. But, that's where the similarities end.

So, no muse for characters. I tend to get more inspiration for plot-lines.

People I know. The characters aren't them exactly, but close in key ways. A lot of my characters comes from the dialogue - I tend to have to listen to them talk before I know much else about them.

I have no muses.....

My characters come from my imagination. I dream my stories up and then I write them.

I have a warped imagination apparently.....

I tend to not stray far from home, with a few exceptions.

I use pictures to help, not for character development, but for physical descriptions. It ensures continuity if nothing else. I find pictures essential for creating settings too. It's all the little things in a photograph that your memory doesn't always recall. As for characters, a lot are based, roughly, on aspects of me. Others sort of write themselves.

Pictures are an absolute must for me, too. If Google collects my search history.... Embarassed

I'm the main character in all my stories (so I find that quite easy to write) but the characters I meet and interact with, my muses if you like, are mostly friends I've made here who have inspired an idea or two in me. When I write, I tend to weave those ideas into my own interests (mostly travel and food) and fantasies Embarassed
