I've never said it out loud (or rather in word) but I've put a lot of personal subtext in [i]Heart of a Nightmare./i] Some of it, I realized, was/is entirely unintentional.
I feel like my development in the story reflects mine in actual life. In the beginning of the story, Michael/myself was a much more timid person, not cowardly, but definitely prone to anxiety and insecurity. As the story has progressed along with his/(I) relationship with Nightmare Rarity he subtly but upon examination clearly has become a much stronger person. Less anxious, more determined, and sure of himself even if the odds are against him.
This is not unlike my transformation and becoming who I am now.
This level of personal subtext and reflectiveness seems unconscious on my part. But I'm glad it's there, it adds depth to the story and makes it even more special to me.
(I realize most probably don't know what I'm talking about because few read what I write, but I figured I'd share this observation)
