John asked Travis Thrasher:

You know I'm a huge fan of your characters. What do you do to keep them fresh, unique and so endearing within only a couple of pages?

Travis Thrasher That's a difficult question to answer. I hope I keep characters fresh & unique & endearing, but I also never know. I know many are based either on me of course or of people I know. Regardless of who I'm writing about, I strive for authenticity. I feel I do that from an emotional level, the place I write from. I love wondering what makes people tick. I still feel I have a long ways to go to create some truly original and endearing characters, but I'm learning. Thanks for the question!
