Taylor recently interviewed about 50 adult novelists, including mystery writer Sue Grafton, to see if the same kind of relationship exists between them and their characters.

Nearly all reported that, at some point, their character seemed to come to life and be outside their control.

"We don't really know what happens down the road (with imaginary friends)," Taylor said, "but we suspect it's associated with later creativity."
