The Write Project

What do we owe the people we base characters on? | The Write Project

It's in the nature of creative efforts that we are inspired by the world around it: the arts, world events, and... people! Friends, family, even perfect strangers form the inspiration of the characters that wind up in our books. But what do we owe those people, once they're there? Acknowledgement?  Respect? Money?
