Hi friends, Sometime in the past few weeks, sort of as a joke, I tweeted something about character development. But I’ve been thinking about it a lot, so I’m excited to write a few thoughts down and share them with you. As a mostly literary writer (whatever that means), I spend a lot of time thinking about my characters — who they are, where they come from, what motivates them. But until recently, I never really thought of my wonky, nonlinear process as anything like a strategy.
