Kelsey Quick asked B.B. Swann:

What is your favorite thing about the process of developing a new character?

B.B. Swann Some authors spend oodles of time on character maps, writing arc outlines, or other methods to decide who their characters are. I just hit the pavement. Walking, running, or riding my bike gives me the freedom to get away from distractions and sort of commune with the character in my head. I think it has something to do with endorphins. :) My favorite part is when I get an idea for a character's part in my book and it sends goosebumps across my skin. That's when I know I've really hit on something good for my story.
