John Ostrander: How it Feels When Your Characters Come to Life in Other Media
GOING WALKABOUT
by John Ostrander
They grow up so fast.
I’ve worked on/created a number of characters in my writing career, trying to define them through my writing. They exist first in my head and then become incarnated through my words and stories and the depictions by the artists. In some ways, they are like my kids – my murderous, nasty kids
In the movie Stranger Than Fiction (one of my Mary’s fave films and the most atypical Will Farrell movie ever), the writer of a novel finds that her lead character – who she was planning to kill off – is a real person and comes face to face with him. I don’t think I’d ever want to do that for the main reason that I tend to make the lives of my protagonists pretty miserable. If I’m their creator, I’m a pretty asshole god. I have very good reasons for doing these terrible things – it reveals character and makes a better story. At the same time, I’d never want to meet any of them face to face. I’ve given them cause to do really nasty things back to me.

TVWriter™ Top Posts for the Week Ending 3/6/15
MUNCHMAN’S NOTE: I’m editing TVWriter™ this weekend, about which I’ll post more later. Meanwhile, don’t worry, I promise not to change this sacred column. Besides, why would I? It’s all cut-and-paste anyway, and I’d be even crazier than some people say I am if I tried to give myself more week. As for the rest of today’s and tomorrow’s posts,well, that might be another matter….
