What K. said. It's been interesting, in our "metaphorical driving to pick up Mike at the airport" sessions, to watch the ways you run with ideas versus the ones i run with. There are a few times that i offer suggestions about character motivations that you turn down and i get a little sad about--not that i think you're going in a bad direction, just that my brain's run off with these characters and i'm trying to turn them into mine. It's funny to watch, and to me it emphasizes your point--i'd do entirely different things with your characters than you would.
