I agree with not basing characters off yourself, but I'd be lying if I said my characters didn't all have a piece of me in them! I think it's just a side effect of writing in them, sort of like the navigation system for characters. I'd really like to be able to one day master writing a character who is my polar opposite.

I personally like your self-named character, Michael! But I do look forward to your next project.
