That's good news for new writers, because the only advice they need is to use a process that works for them. Lis and Ian, your approach made me recognize that I'm a planner by nature, so I tend to have a basic plan for everything I do, character development included. I am in awe of those of you who have a comfort level with forging on ahead and trusting that you'll learn along the way. <br />Vive l'difference!LaVerne St. Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943062495313537655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632249142954767681.post-41782778102079040072010-06-12T09:10:41.565-04:002010-06-12T09:10:41.565-04:00It's nice to hear how others write.

The only exercise I ever do to find out about my characters is to write their story and gradually they let me know about themselves so I can improve the second draft.<br /><br />I often think the moment the people have become real to me is the moment I read something I wrote earlier and I think he/she would never say or do that.I.J.

I think I must be too lazy :) I learn about my characters as I write. Rather like meeting people in real life. The more you hang out with them the more you learn about their likes and dislikes. They tell each things I didn't know too. :)Elisabeth Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847216542954007974noreply@blogger.com
