Q & A with January Bain!

Hello January!  Thank you so much for visiting Written Butterfly with me today!  It’s such a pleasure to chat with you. 
And me with you! Thanks so much for the invite to visit with you and your readers today!
So tell me…
Q) How did you dream up the dynamics of your characters?
I start by creating a backstory. 90% of which I won’t use! But the better I know them, the more I can flesh their personalities out in my stories. And then, after I create the plot outline, I leave room for these 3-D characters to grow and take over! And yes, they surprise me too sometimes. Usually for the better!
