My imaginary friends

Over the years, I've made up more than a few fictional characters. Most of them have been inspired by other fictional characters, some of them are original - though even those ones are probably influenced by other works - they are all my imaginary friends. Not in the sense that I interact with them or that they have some effect on my life, but I think about their lives, and wonder what is going on with them. I wonder what has happened to them, and try to hammer out the details.
     Two Novembers ago I took part in Nanowrimo for the first time. The second time around I was much more successful. I created two new characters for that story, and since then they've been sitting around in my head. The final moments of that story burned into my inner eye. I've been wondering what happened next. What else happened in the time of the story that I wrote that I didn't write about. What parts did I miss? Who are these characters really? Who is Walter? Who is Blondie? What is next for them? Where are they going? What will they become? And again, who the hell are they?

     I got side tracked and lost my train of thought...

     There are other characters that I haven't written about anywhere too. I guess I'm worried that once I write about them I can't unwrite their story, but that's not entirely true. Hmmm...
