Characters

I am sure many people read books and feel as though they really know the characters in them. I for one feel like when I end a book series that one of my close friends has abandoned me and left me without word to where they have gone and how there life is going. It may seem weird I guess but I am not saying the characters are my best friends or anything. I just feel as though they were a part of my life some how. Sometimes I do know a person/friend that is almost just like a character in a book and you may or may not lose that person. I don't know I guess what I am saying is that having a series end sucks! lol I have only one series that has ended that I really was bummed out about. The good thing about a character in a book is that you re-read their adventures and all the details will be there. I guess people journal so some may have a book with all of their own adventures in them. Sometimes I wish that my life was like some of the books I read. Although most of the books I read are paranormal romance books I would love to have the realistic story in them sometimes. Not all the books have stories I wish were mine but a few I wish my life was like one of the characters in the books I read. I guess I could always learn from the books and make my own story some how. I guess Ill be trying that :)
