Creating Characters

Capri Capers was a frantic rush draft during a November NaNo. It is almost all action.
That leaves the characters as flat two dimensional players. This is not suitable.
I know the characters. To me they have the depth and breadth a good novel character should have.
The difficulty is putting this into the novel draft. The draft seems complete so the only way is to literally take parts of it out and recreate the scenes adding dialogue and descriptions to make Harriet, Arthur, Dan and the others become the real people they really are to me.
It is slow going but worth it as I want others to know these people as I do.
