The Order of Poison Oak

In the Q&A after the book, Brent Hartinger admitted that the character Russell was kind of "him" with all his best traits. I couldn't help squeeing a little inside because that's just what I do. Curt Wilde said in Velvet Goldmine, a real artist creates beautiful things and puts nothing of his own life into them. But that's not what I do. And therefore, if you like my characters, chances are you may like me too, although in reality the reverse may be more likely.

I met my BFF in secondary school. She's the first one who's read my stories and the one constantly nags me to write, not just because she's a good friend but because she likes my characters too. I've been trying to write Albus/Gellert and Albus/Severus but somehow Albus's voice just eludes me. With the pressing deadline, I know I should just concentrate on my original fic. Then I'll at least have something done. If you've read this far, you'll probably know that, this, is yet another post written just for procrastinaton.
