Yes, indeed. Most of the time, they were just people I'd made up to put into stories. Dozens and dozens of characters. I didn't talk to them or hold imaginary tea parties with them or anything like that--but they were still as real and interesting to me as anybody I knew in real life. No, make that more real and interesting. XD
But I never told anybody about them, because my stories and my characters were mine, and I wanted to keep them to myself.
At one point, I did pretend I had an imaginary twin sister named Victoria, and I talked to her for a little while. Then I got bored, because she wasn't as fun as a character in a story, and so I went back to my characters and stories.
Now, I have even more characters living inside my head--so I guess one could say I still have imaginary friends. Unlike my old characters, I talk with my new characters a lot--though, nowadays, it's mostly to yell at them because they're not cooperating, or because they're bringing stuff into the story that I didn't plan on, making more work for me.
Too bad my characters can't write their own stories. They only seem capable of complicating mine.
