I've only noticed when re-reading some of my stories that I've written characters based on people... that I hadn't actually met when I first wrote them.
Seriously, Zofie? She is so much like Laura, a little adorable girl who was at the first school I taught at.
And I only realised a few months ago, that Kasmira is very much like my Head of Faculty at my last school, Rachael. And I created Kasmira over a year before I met Rachael!
I don't know how it happens, but it does!
