Like most writers, I just create because I have a story to tell, really.

But basically, I'm trying to write a fun story.

Creating characters is like throwing together ingredients for a recipe. I take characteristics I like and dislike in real people I know, or know of, and use them to embellish and define characters.

You have to start from a place of trying to create a character.

I'm just writing a story that I want to read.

A story is built on characters and reasons.

I want to tell authentic, real stories with real characters.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

My stories are character driven.

I love telling stories. Creating a character, a world, a whole universe out of nothing. That part I can't get enough of.
