I find when im escritura a story o novel, i tend to create characters that are the exact opposite of me. Do you? and why do tu think that is?

not all the time , if tu read my novels you'll think that I'm unfunny gloomy person and that's tottaly not me
why I do that? , I guess I do that to creat the perfect character who match perfectly with the story line , when I want to write a story I tottaly forgot who I am
but that doesn't mean that I don't give the character something I have cause if I didn't then I can't relate to the main character and I can't write my story with all my corazón and soul and that will turn the novel from big crushing novel to a normal novel
so yes I do that for my normal novels ,and for my big novels I like to give the character something from me with an odd touch to not talk about myself

My characters aw rarely different then I am. Some of their traits maybe different but I have to add variety. I think tu create the exact opposite of yourself because maybe that is how tu wish tu were.
