Julie let me do a guest post that I lovingly call: I’m Not a Cool Person, but I Write About them in Books (or: I Wish I Were as Cool as my Characters).
Read the rest of this post at Julie Lindsey's blog, and enter for a chance to win a free copy of The Fairy Tale Trap.A lot of people think that authors write characters based on what the author wishes they could be. Well let me clear things up a bit: That’s completely true.At least, it’s true for me. Sure, Ivy has her faults. She’s stubborn and impulsive. She gets herself into all kinds of trouble and tends to be a loner. But Ivy is cool. So my guest post today will be all about why Ivy is cooler than I am.First, I’m the nerdy type. Not the shy, awkward kind of nerdy. The goofy, foot-in-the-mouth type of nerdy. I say things without thinking, then an hour later I realize that what I said wasn’t as funny as I thought. In fact, it could have been flat-out offensive.Ivy, on the other hand, says offensive things on purpose and wishes she had written them down to use again later.

I agree, I wish I was cool like some of my characters (minus their faults) But tbh I'm pretty happy the way I am.
I think I feel the same way. :) This is more of a just-for-fun post.
Cute post. ;)
Some of my characters are as geeky as I am, but, unlike me, they get the hunky guy anyway. Wish fulfillment? You bet. :P
Sounds good to me!
