NaNoWriMo Problem #2

Feeling like you’re living two lives: one inside your story and one in the world. (Bonus problem: the fictional story feels more real.)

I think having your fictional story seem more real than reality sounds like a great problem and a great sign that you’ve got an awesome novel on your hands. My biggest problem so far is that I talk about my characters like they are real people, which can be confusing for those around me until they figure out what I’m rambling on about. Good luck with the rest of NaNo!

  I do the same thing! I love when characters live beyond the page, even if it’s only in my imagination. :)
