my book and my love life, (or the lack thereof)

if the characters are fictionalized, i don't see why you should be obligated to tell him. does the character describe him exactly?

Cool! So... you're a novelist huh? I'm a novelist as well. Although i deal in the area of Science Fiction, i'd like to invite you to MY website: www.koolestfiction.com Please come. And as far as the question goes: Yes, i think you should let him know that he's in the book.

my friend, it seems u r real hero is the man whom u know before ur marriage. Why don't u marry him, why didn't u told this to ur divorced husband. If u told this to your real husband then your life may change the rails of your life. Now u r writing a story as ur husbang is -ve n the other is +ve, how it be possible,. u can say 1000 stories but your real husband is the divorced it is the truth. If u don't like him just don't think about him, that is all then why do u write a story n mentioning about your ex as hero n real one was -ve character thats not good at all. try to forget him.

Unless you wrote about real places, names and dates..no. If you did...change them.

Try your luck. but do not hurt the sentiments of some happless souls. make user of your qualities, even that matters.

Good luck with your book. I hope it has a lot of success. A lot of fiction writers pull from their own experiences to write novels.

After the book is released, put the gist of it in mylot for all of us to read. It will be interesting.

If you say it's fictionalized, and he doesn't resemble your hero (personality, physical qualities, mannerisms), then it's ok not to tell him about it.

cool well done

I write stories also and often take the characteristics of someone I know to use in them. There is no need to let this person know about it unless you have unresolved feelings about them that need to be addressed. Hope this helps you and GREAT fortune to you and your book!

i dont know what to say, i think you should betetr know what to do?? hhmm let him know about his part in your book doesnt harm anything.

i think you should put him in your book .might be your story will be good then with the help of him.

I do hope that by now you have written your novel as it sounds like you were very diligent, with the ture events in your life and enter-twinning them to non-fiction. Best of luck and I hope it was a best seller.

Here is a suggestion for your book since it is fiction. The man in your book you started to see again but his x wife found out about it and for some reason she became jealous you can invent something since she it is a work of fiction she came at you in a rage breaking your computer so that know one ever found out if you finished it or not.

complex.. dont tell that he is in the book .. if you want him badly stop him from leaving.. not becoz he is inthe book .. but becoz u want to stay with him.. that is stop him from leaving for the right reasons..

I don't think that it would hurt anything to tell him. If you feel confident enough then go for it. I hope your book makes it to the top where you should be.

no u dnt need 2 tell nythin 2 him

why not? maybe it will make him feel even better and maybe you could get closer to each other..maybe have a flick or something! if you say he has so many qualities, then he's worth it:))

You can but you really don't have to. I mean, he has become part of your life and whatever you write in your book, it is your book. As long as it would not ruin that person's life, doesn't really matter at all.

hi i am bhaves. i have one .
