Caitlyn asked Jessica Khoury:

How do you go about characterization? Thank you, and I utterly fell in love with THE FORBIDDEN WISH!

Jessica Khoury So happy you liked it! Thanks for reading! Character begins with motivation: what drives this character? Kind of like the question Zahra asks Aladdin about wishing: “What are you willing to risk everything for?” Once you know a character’s deepest desire and why they want it so badly, you know how they’ll act in certain situations.

Hi Jessica, I don't have a question but just wanted to make a comment. I randomly came across The Forbidden Wish and thought I would check it out. WOW! I am a connoisseur of good fiction and can confidently say, with no hesitation, that you are AMAZING! You know when you find that writer that weaves such a good narrative you're willing to read ANYTHING they write, regardless of what it's about? Just found another ;)
