Shannon Messenger:
In the Keeper of the Lost Cities books, which character is most like you, personality wise?
Shannon Messenger
Ha--this question is tricky because the real, honest answer is both, "none of them" and "all of them."
They all come from my brain, so they all have tiny bits and pieces of me in them. But I also work hard to get to create their backstories and build them into unique individuals that by the end they're very much their own people and have nothing to do with me.
Actually, wait. Silveny and I might have the most similar personalities. We're both always thinking about sugary snacks, and we abuse all-caps and exclamation marks in our heads. :)
