Dragii mei,
Lucrez la un proiect personal mai vechi, un roman inspirat de o poveste de dragoste care s-a petrecut demult. Pentru construirea personajelor, le supun unor interviuri complexe, aleg imagini, mă documentez, însăilez trecutul lor și imaginez viitorul. Asta înseamnă câteva sute de pagini care nu își vor găsi locul în carte. Pentru mine, e foarte important să simt personajele respirând alături de mine, atunci când scriu.
Am fost surprinsă să descopăr că există generatoare de personaje.
Printr-un simplu click, generatorul a creat personajul de mai jos. Sigur, spectaculos, dar îmi este străin… eu una n-aș putea scrie despre el.
Ce părere aveți?
