I'm actually worried about this same problem, so I'm sticking to short stories at the moment to increase my skill. I don't know if that helps? You could also just ...

I already know whos going to die in my story before i've even fell in love with my characters XD So it's not really hurting me at the moment ;P ...

I do. I had to kill off my favourite character but he had to die else the book would not have progressed as i wanted it to. Kill them off ...

No, Michael Myers is a character - a psychotic serial killer who was brain-washed by a cult to make him want to meaninglessly kill his entire family. Creepy.

Yes, well done! That's probably the hardest part done! Tell us all when it's published! -Kaz

Plus I find it slightly irritating when authors get really snobbish about their works, like certain people who won't allow fanfiction to be written about their books. It's a compliment, ...
