When the Kat's Away

I didn't get to write yesterday. I left my characters without supervision. Are they lonely when I'm gone? Do they not know what to do? I am their brain, controlling their actions after all. I imagine them all confused, bumping into walls, not knowing where to go or what to do next. Yes, I am anthropomorphizing my characters because to me, they have become real. What does that mean? Do all authors feel that way about their characters? I hope it means I will write them well and not that I'm just a little crazy.
