Good post - something to think about. Do you talk with them beforehand or hope they don't recognize themselves (if it is negative)?amuse mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107288250737832143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-28629681215497599042008-07-22T07:01:00.000-07:002008-07-22T07:01:00.000-07:00Oh man, I am so thinking about this as I work on m...Oh man, I am so thinking about this as I work on my new MG. It is SO thinly veiled who the characters are. I need to change the names after the draft is done bc although I do change characteristics, it might just be weird if certain ppl saw it. The story/plot is completely fictional, too; it's just certain sitches are based on what happened in a character's real life.<BR/><BR/>BUT -- this story and the sitches of these ppl has been calling me for some time, so I HAVE to write it. I think if I change the names, it'll be OK.....DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.com
