But I don't think that people, in general, spend a lot of time observing others and really thinking about what makes them tick. And even if they do, it doesn't mean they come away with an understanding of a person's motivations. I don't think it is an easy thing, to know people that well, since we tend to be such complex creatures. And so basic and simple at the same time. It is that contradiction that makes it hard to create realistic characters on the page.
Don't get me started on Barker.....I will ramble on all day since he is my favorite writer....LOL....:p

sure, get started :)
dont you find that he doesn't know how to end his books .. and like King he felt he had to get more and more raaunchy because he had nowhere left to go ?
I love his books of blood .. very tight stories ... but I'm not a fan of the novels, and I've read quite a few.
(i have his autograph on the script for hellraiser by the way .. (it came in a laserdisc box set)
