I'm teaching Stephen King's On Writing this semester, and this is something he says in the section we discussed today: that all characters in fiction are essentially aspects of ourselves.

I would agree with that re: my own writing. Even when I am writing fanfic and I must be careful to characterize and to write voices that jive with what we're presented in character, the facets of a character that I choose to foreground are generally the ones that resonate with me most, the grace notes of the character's life that we don't see onscreen or in the book generally come from my own, and where applicable I try to include emotional resonance from my own life in the lives of these characters.

I don't write a lot of original fic; most of the rest of what I write is memoir, and that IS me. LOL
