I’m glad it was helpful, Lois! Yes, there’s always some angle with one or more of our characters that takes time to figure out but we get there in the end!

Thank you, Angela. Ah, yes, the relationship with the protagonist is a great way to figure out which questions to ask. Family relationships can always be tricky!

Hi Peg! I’m so pleased to hear this helps! Isn’t it interesting how some characters are much easier to figure out than others. Good luck with your new character and story!

It’s usually easy for me to develop characters using all the usual lists and adding the concept of turning points. I do a stream of consciousness first person exercise and normally it works. But I’m working on a new protag now who has me stumped. This will help get those juices going. Thank you!

I’m thinking too it would be good to think about the character’s role in the story and their relationship with the protagonist to steer some of these questions, too. Depending on the role, a person would want to dig a bit deeper into certain areas.
