I heard Maxwell Andrew Drake say that he plans out what each of his characters are doing throughout every part of the book--even the parts that they don't appear in--because it is very fake when the characters come into a scene as though they've been twiddling their thumbs waiting for their next part.<br /><br />It's amazing how much some of this background work helps to make the story come to life.Rachel K.

I should really do this for some of the harder to understand characters such as my bad guy. It took two years to finally discover why he was doing what he was doing. I also think that you should get to know your characters like you would the person down the street, by watching what they do, how they think and getting to know what they do in every situation. <br />Yes, as the authors of Spilling Ink put it, you "stalk the wild character" ;)Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977468425317232085noreply@blogger.com
