rivendellroseI has new glasses. ♥ They are a slightly different style than my old ones and a much brighter/more golden brown, with a much more tortoise-shell sort of look to them, and gold and rhinestone flowers on the temples, because I wanted something girlier than my old ones. They're much more designer-y and, dear sweet gods, much easier to see out of. My old ones were getting way messed up. So yay.
I really ought to be either doing homework (bleeehhhhhhhhhh) or going to bed (double bleh). I suspect in reality I will poke at my writing for a little while. Or at least try to. I got visited by one of my characters in my dream last night, and while I don't remember much, I suspect it was a not-so-subtle indication that he's quite through with being ignored, thank you, and that I need to get back on track.
...There's absolutely nothing crazy about personifying the characters in one's head, as long as one doesn't think they actually act independently of one. Right? Of course right.

So I guess in a way they do have to start acting independently as well.
I think you only have to worry when they start to control YOUR actions - other than the action of you writing about them of course ;)
