Envious of Characters

I came to the realization today that I'm jealous of the characters in my book.  Sawyer Kelley gets to experiment in a bakery and drink free coffee.  Yes, I understand that I could do this in my own kitchen, but Sawyer gets paid for it!  Developing your characters can be a daunting wonderful task sometimes.  You have to create a character that your reader can fall in love with or want to fall off a cliff.

You'll never understand the obsession devotion to your craft until you feel what your character goes through.  There are times when you begin writing and get lost in the words because you find yourself in a relationship with them.  Excitement fills my body as I wonder about what's going to happen to my characters.  Will Bentley accept Sawyer's strange gift?  Does James ever stop drooling over the oblivious Vikki?
