[stylist] do any other writers ever feel like this?

[William L Houts]

Hi,

Well, I don't think I've actually cried but I recognize that impulse.  
The way I write my characters has a lot to do with compassion;  in order 
to get the emotional truth out of my characters and their situations I 
employ a kind of compassion. Almost always, this leads me to a 
satisfying sense of who these people are and what they're going to do next.
