Anyone out there been caught screwing their face up in a scornful hate-filled scowl only to switch to a seductive nibble on the bottom lip?
I have!
I always try to feel my characters emotions and often find myself happy or upset when showing their reactions to a given situation. Hopefully, this transcends an otherwise 2d character into a complicated, multidimensional one, just like you and me. I try to know my characters well. They take me to places and do things seemingly without asking or even wanting them to. Although my characters are entirely fictional trying to force them into situations and expecting them to act a certain way is often met with a laugh from them. Followed by a whisper in my ear that if I intend on taking them down a given path – be warned – they’ve tried to stay true and be the person created from the beginning and will shout to the reader that I made them do something unnatural.
