I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do; they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.
The easier you make it look, the more difficult it is. Creating characters out of nothing, and making them interesting - and that's another advice I would give to writers.
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.
