Character roles
How do writers create characters?
And what's the process for making these characters? |
That's like asking "How does a person live their life?" the answer is different for everyone.

Characters are most of the time made up by imagination but there must be a process |

I was using an example of something that is different for everyone. There is no one process to creating a character, just as there's no one way to live life. |

I usually just start off with a scene or a moment or some sort of important strand related to a character and build from there. With Black, the starting point for the main character and the story as a whole was the idea of a person selling his soul to the Devil for revenge and then I just built everything from that point. What would motivate him to do that? What was his life like up until that point? What would his personality be like having lived through his troubled past? It might not work for everyone but it works for me, start of with a strand of a plot, a moment, a scene and build from there. |
Thank you for sharing

Do you mean have I ever been stuck thinking of characters? Yeah, there's a character in my book called Lorelei who I pretty much changed dramatically in every draft of the book because I couldn't decide who I wanted her to be. |
