As my publisher said, I must laugh a lot. That is very true when I create a character,and have that character interact with other characters and start the thread of a story, probably based, very loosely, on something that actually happened.
Using a fair amount of dialog like I do, the characters come more alive than just talking about them in the third person narrative.
Notty was one such character that came alive as I wrote the story. At first it was my intention to make him immensely disliked by the reader, but as the story progressed, Notty became somewhat of a hero.
My greatest joy in writing is to see the characters develop personalities, and at times push the story their way, and not in the manner I first intended.
If some reader should see a resemblance to an actual event in one of my yarns, they could well think, 'That's not that way it ended'. So, bad luck, in my yarn it ended the way it ended.
