Does anyone else get that weird feeling where you didn't intend to identify with a character, and you accidentally self-insert? And it gets really hard to continue writing for that character?
You start questioning if you're accidentally exploring an untouched side of yourself, one that's completely different from your normal self.
Personally I never self-insert. And since I write third-person omniscient, this feeling I got was jarring.
I really liked the story I was writing, but feeling this became such a huge discomfort that I eventually had to stop.
