On a writer's note

 

It might sound like I'm a little mental as I write this, but I thought I would hit on inspirations with characters. True, I am one who usually has a story brewing with conversations. Of course, it helps to have a movie..or maybe a TV show going in my head. 

I was thinking back to one of my favorite prototypes of characters. Usually, it's someone slightly similar to me. And, finally, I remembered someone on Guiding Light (light years ago). And now when I see Hayden it's a lot like looking at an old friend of mine who got married again, recently. 

Of course, most of my stories that are Haden-related were domestic stories. I wouldn't call them romances. Oh, she was, of course, a troubled lass with many loves and usually stuck with someone she shouldn't be with. Throw in an anti-hero that no one would look at twice and well, lets write some trite and obscure story. But looking back at Melissa Hayden now, I wondered what had happened to this Young Adult actress who is well-noted on the soap opera as sometimes sweet, but not always.

As the decades rolled on, there was Tatianna Maslany for inspiration. Of course, I am always happy to see her faceclaim in other people's stories too. And it's great to know she is in the She-Hulk series now. Although, I think she is so much more than that. She can be so animated and yet cold and calculating too.  I always wanted to see her in something with yet a French Canadian actor (Marc-André Grondin). 

Oh course, I find a lot of inspiration everywhere for characters. Yet sometimes, it's good to know what that voice looks like that's helping you along the way.
