The most important basis of any novel is wanting to be someone else, and this means creating a character.
A story is built on characters and reasons.
I try to trace the connection between the characters and that way a story or plot emerges.
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.
An author's characters do what he wants them to do.
When you deal with nonfiction you deal with human characters.
You just play what a writer writes, in terms of what a character chooses to do and how a character chooses to deal with their various relationships.
Storylines are how characters create the plots involved in their stories.
The narrative constructs the identity of the character, what can be called his or her narrative identity, in constructing that of the story told. It is the identity of the story that makes the identity of the character.
The truth is, everything ultimately comes down to the relationship between the reader and the writer and the characters. Does or does not a character address moral being in a universal and important way? If it does, then it's literature.
