I don't disagree a bit with what Leeper explained about how your story tells you. Ever since I started creating characters I've felt connected with them, and as I got older I was able to more logically connect that my own personalities, thoughts, experiences, are sometimes mirrored in the characters I create.
Lately more specifically I've been able to trace back through my stories and notice common themes and specific issues that remain true in almost all of them. It's funny how we subconsciously project ourselves into our stories and characters; whether it's our experiences, people we know, our beliefs, our personality, somehow we wind up within the work we create without meaning to. Even if we think we're totally pulling this story out of thin air, once you really get down to the nitty gritty and look deep into it you start to see the connections.
Why is it that we subconsciously project ourselves into our stories? Could it be a reflection of God making us in His image and us desiring subconsciously to make things in our own personal image? I personally have no answers on this, I personally tend to be more of a concept person than a think deeply and find possible answers person, at least on my own, with others providing other ideas I can get there. I wish I had more answers for y'all, but for now I guess I'm just providing this food for thought. I also don't have a fancy picture. I'm just totally letting you guys down here lol.
