I am writing about a person who is transported 10 years into the past, and has the chance to relive their life (actually being able to: 'knowing what I know now I would...') The trouble is I keep projecting myself into the protagonists shoes. This is a problem because it is limiting (me imagining) what the protagonist may do. And is kinda creepy because I am imagining how my current relationships would be different (would have gone out with that person, wouldn't have gone out with this other person etc). **How do I prevent myself (as a writer) from projecting my self (and people I know ) into my protagonist, (supporting cast)?**
