Every character, for me, is a new discovery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any time you learn something new about your character, that's really exciting.
I like coming up with new characters. Whether it's revamping an old character no one likes or just coming up with brand-new stuff, that's kind of what excited me as an artist.
I love seeing a story evolve over several books and watching characters develop.
I think, above all, the characters in my novels feel universal to the readers.
The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.
I am a big proponent of character arcs that show us how people change over time.
It doesn't seem to me that anyone has discovered much that's new since the Iliad or the Odyssey.
I think all our characters are an amalgam of people we know in our world and ourselves.
You basically only discover a new thing once.
I tend toward characters who are more lost than found.
