Whoo hoo! Using friends as muses is great, and I think enriches the characters for you. It gives them a personal depth, which can make it harder to do what you need to do for the story. But it makes for a great book! ;)V.K.

Always a quandary. Basing one's characters on one's real life friends definitely gives that ring of authenticity, but what do you do with them when the novel demands their departure? UGH! Great blog.

She captures so many words just with her pictures. I used a family member as my muse but then the book is based on fact written in fiction and it was really hard when it came to the emotional parts. (erm never mind the sex scenes O.O) lol. A good friend is a treasure indeed. :-)Khloë Kamalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681141565540158928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687684312197484895.post-85077684840952295972011-03-09T11:14:13.194-06:002011-03-09T11:14:13.194-06:00I understand how using a real person as your muse ...I understand how using a real person as your muse really makes things flow.
