The Character Escape (Updated Regularly)

"You ever wonder why authors love seeing their books go on the big screen? It's because they love seeing their characters come to life. But...But what if the characters are already living? Sounds silly right? However, the legendary Ernest Hemingway previously stated, "When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters" So what does this mean? That every character is alive? Well no. But what if the only barrier from the fantasy world and the real world is the character's self realization. That maybe if the characters could somehow figure out that they are only characters in a book, that this imaginary wall barrier would collapse, creating a window of opportunity for the character to come into the real world. Maybe Harry, Bella, and even Atticus could've escaped their books if they found the hidden clues that lies inside each book of how to break the barrier. Well, how does a character find this barrier you might ask? Where and why are these small clues present? Maybe the author leaves the hints through small typos or slight detail differences from one chapter to the other as he/she hopes that the character finds them. Or Maybe it's just up to the character to put the pieces together and find their way out, even if the pieces are barely noticeable to the keen eye. What would happen if a character dug into a detail a little more than the author intended? Maybe that's the key to finding the way out. I'm not quite sure how the pieces of the process comes to be so...maybe I'll just have to go in the other room and ask my author. This is my story of how I escaped my book" - Cory Booker, the main character of "The Character Escape"
