From halspacejock:

Every time I considered quitting I'd picture Hal and Clunk fading to black, unseen by anyone but me, and the thought of losing them forever was enough to get me going again.

I found the same thing, well, insert (one of my characters) in place of Hal & Clunk obviously. But if I went to say it, it would sound silly. Not so silly when someone like Simon says it though.

It's like they can't exist if they're not being read, and they do want to exist.

The funny thing though, I'd feel this way about whatever I was working on at the time, but not things I've moved on from, even though I felt like that about them at the time.

The other funny thing, I don't feel that way about current WIP. It's just sudden that drives me to finish that.

I know what you mean about things moved on from. Once published they've had their shot, and if they didn't attract a worldwide audience that's their fault. Call it sharing the blame - I'll write their adventures down, but they'd better do something interesting.
