for this one character, its always been easy. i struggle more with others who i am less comfortable with. there's a couple i haven't really found a way to detach sufficiently to make them actually work for me yet ~ so i've got a lot of work ahead of me with them.
i think part of what helps me is that i've never been inclined to write autobiographically at all (about myself or things i "know" or have experienced). when there's as much separation between me as a 35 year old Catholic female writer/library school student living in the 21st century who was raised on the texas/mexico border and someone like Lewis Fletcher in 1852 ( as a seven year-old boy raised by southern baptist parents and displaced from an alabama farm into a city like Mobtown on the cusp of the civil war), there's not much we can share experientially. emotionally maybe, but only in a very vague fashion.
