As a
writer, I wear a lot of masks. Tons of them, really. It’s not even limited to
point of view characters. Characters develop their own quirks and so even when
I’m wring one particular character’s POV, I have to take into account all of
the mannerisms present from other characters present in the scene.
For that
reason, I like Halloween. I feel like the rest of the world finally gets a
glimpse at what my everyday existence is like. I have a chance
to—marginally—blend in with the rest of society.
