Random Writing Tips - Creating Characters
[Writing-and-Speaking:Writing] So you're writing your first novel. Your story should be character driven, in which case you will find that the situations which start to form in your mind already come from what those characters are 'about.' All novels, whether they be thrillers, romances, Science Fiction, or whatever, should reflect life in that they deal with what happens when person A, with a certain agenda, meets with person B, with his particular motivations.
