From my website: Sage came to me in a song by Eddie Vedder (lead singer for Pearl Jam) called “Guaranteed.” The lyrics said, “I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me, guaranteed.” I loved those lines and the more I turned them in my head, the more Sage’s character became clear. And once I had Sage, I had the story.
Not from my website: You can look up the song wherever you listen to music and the more you think about the lyrics, the more you'll hear Sage in them.

Hi, I am writing a short story for school and I wanted to know about your writing process. When you have an idea do you first form an outline of the whole story or do you sort of write each chapter as you come up with it? Is it important that you understand each character's personality before you begin the actual writing? Can you add descriptions and setting after or is it better to have it in your first draft? Thanks
