MINE OR YOURS: NEW CHARACTERS VS. EXISTING CHARACTERS

What's yours is mine
and what's mine is mine.

I took part in the latest roundtable discussion on author Sean Taylor's blog. Mine or Yours: New Characters vs. Existing Characters along with authors H. David Blalock, Joel Jenkins, Krista Cagg, Ray Witte, and Stephanie Osborn.

From the blog:
"What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine."

One of my dream writing gigs.

While it may be true in marriage (snicker, snicker), it isn't always the case in authorship and creative control. So, to find out whether writers prefer to create their own characters or work with existing properties, we asked. (We're smart like that... Sometimes.)
