I'll write the first draft and then worry about it because I've been developing them in my head for months or more.

As an audience, you don't know characters when you start reading--you learn about them through the course of the book. As a writer, I do the same thing. Let the characters develop naturally, they might surprise you and lead you to places you wouldn't have gone otherwise.Seanhttp://www.seanpatricklittle.comnoreply@blogger.com
