How do you do it? Even if they’re not ‘real’? You’ve lived with a character for days, weeks, even years sometimes. You know them better than their mother would, if they had one. And then you kill them off.
This may sound surprisingly sappy, but it’s actually more difficult than you’d think. Maybe I’m not cut out to be a horror writer.

It’s probably not the killing of the character that bothers you. It’s knowing that he won’t be around any more.

That’s it exactly. It’s actually pretty easy to slice and dice someone with a turkey baster and a belt sander, but knowing that they’re gone - well, that’s not so easy.

So that is what happen to my belt sander.
