Writing Lite #5 — Character Backstories

I’m baaack.. with another Writing Lite segment. This time I’m starting a series on character development and how to do it. Today I talk about my favorite technique — writing character backstories. They only have to be a couple of single spaced pages, but they accomplish so much. What do you think?

Michael Murphy I started writing character backstories before starting my latest novel, The Yankee Club (the first one after Goodbye Emily.) Now I recommend it to all my writer friends.
