As a rule, I'm not a fan of those character study things. But I am a fan of having at least a vague idea of what you're going to be writing before you start writing.
Note, I said
VAGUE.
My characters seem to develop as I write.
Other writers may know it all before they put pen to paper. I say, whatever works.
Thoughts?
My Highlights buddy
Rosi Hollinbeck has a really good blog. She finds super stuff to share. And she just shared
THIS, via Kathy Temean, a kind of fun way to look at/for a new character.
There are 90 questions.
I figure if I dream up ten of them, I'm good...
Any negative forces around your character?Does your character have anyone to confide in?Is your character afraid of anyone? Or anything?What is his/ her biggest fear?Would you say your character is selfish?What annoys him?Is she a bully?What makes him laugh?How old is your character?What does your character look like?
