Hello! I love both Inferno and Shadow, and I was wondering how you write personalities that differ from your own so well? I'm writing a book and my personality and preferences always sneak into the characters behavior.

@infinity_82 It does help a little bit, and I'll definitely try that while I'm writing! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

@ThatOneVespid Hi! I think that it's totally okay for your personality and preferences to sneak into your characters, but only in moderation. It's nice to be able to pick a couple of your interests to be expressed in different characters, but I also maintain that these are actual human people that you are writing about. They should all have personalities shaped by the events of their past and personalities that keep changing to achieve the goals they have for their future. So characters are not so much people that you are trying to create from your mind, but more people whose minds you are trying to read to create a story. The easiest way you can practice this is by thinking of multiple outcomes of a conversation or event in your story and picking whichever one seems most plausible for your character(s). Remember, your characters are driving the story, not the other way around :) sorry for the mini rant, but I hope that helps a little bit!

I am once again asking (okay no I haven't asked before but thought it) that you put your work on AO3 so I can make it a PDF and print it out/save it because yes I love it that much to want a physical copy. I was online shopping and saw a necklace with the quote "some books are so familiar that reading them is like being home again" and immediately thought of Shadow. Then I felt nostalgic for Kiera and Cole and Cameron and had to come back here and ask this.

@magenta_cheesestick3 Yes you posted this comment forever ago, but I've thought a lot about it lately and have thought about doing a deep clean edit of Shadow and posting it on AO3 :)
