Was it autism? Or simply the mark of a great writer?

A breath of fresh air, actually. Characters are far more 'knowable' than the people we blithely yammer about day to day AS IF we know them, when of course [we, the rest of the world] do not know a thing about them except, perhaps, in outline. But that is all.

I actually know few girls who do the same thing. They haven't actually written their stories yet but have conversations as their characters and claim to feel their presence occasionally. Should I be concerned?

Shit, I do this sometimes but with idealized people that I've made up myself because real people are so disappointing. Am I crazy?

Pretty genius thing to do imo. You could work yourself into believing this and your characters would probably get better as a result.

Salinger apparently did the same thing with his characters.
