YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER

Image of Actors on a Stage

If we write, we all have a favorite character of all time. Some of us have more than one. You know when you’ve found her.

He will come to you as if in a dream. Or he may arrive fully formed. It will be love at first sight.

Your Favorite Characters

How do you go about developing, designing, taming this perfect character? Do you keep notes, physical sketches, does she become a tiny person who sits near your keyboard?

What do you keep in your character notes? Do your characters get their very own files? Do you interview them? How do you keep them alive? How do you come back to your keyboard for the duration of your short story or novel and keep them fresh and alive and full of surprises?
