LOL!
Yeah, that's what it boils down to.
Of course, once you get to know your own characters, you fear what they go through, and you go through their experiences with them.
*chuckle*
Good luck.

Yep! I only make miserable those whom I love.

It is a bit odd how attached I get to some of my characters, like they were pets or friends or something. But I don't hesitate to make them miserable. Even if it's painful. "They lived happily ever after" is the end, not the story.
