I just write the characters the way I see them. And maybe that's because I'm surrounded by the most amazing men,from my father to my husband to all of my brothers. They are true heroes!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Characters are so important to a story that they actually decide where the story is going. When I write, I know my characters. I know how things are going to end, and I know some important incidents along the way.
I love to start characters in a place where you think you know them. We can make all kinds of assumptions about them and think they have no redeeming qualities, but like everyone, they're complex.
I write characters. Some of those characters are women.
To me, characters are at the heart of great literature.
I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.
All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.
I believe the most intricate plot won't matter much to readers if they don't care about the characters, especially in a series. So I try to focus hard on making each character, whether villain or hero, have an interesting flaw that readers can relate to.
I've always written about heroes and wondered who they are.
I love stories. I just enjoy telling stories and watching what these characters do - although writing continues to be just as hard as it always was.
