My grandmother always said that you should start with some kind of biography for your characters. Liking to write more than I liked actually planning my characters, I took from people I knew and what they were like for the basis of the characters.
Of course, the names have all been changed to protect the people who I based the characters off of, but there is some of me in here as well as other people I know. It’s been fun scanning through this stuff, looking for names and people I knew.
At some point I’ll probably go back through and actually write some biographies– maybe at a break between chapters. I’m actually excited to give faces to the characters via stock photography.
You won’t have to wait much longer for the adventure to begin…
