Characters. Research. Setting. Brainstorming and daydreaming. I don’t know. I love storytelling. I love reading stories, listening to stories, watching them, thinking about them, talking about them, and especially making and telling them!
I guess one of my favorite things is when a character is so well-developed that I can imagine them in any situation and they surprise me as if they are alive. This is one of my favorite experiences.
Because I also draw my stories, it’s exciting when a drawing is done and I see my characters in their world. Again, it’s like they come to life. That’s the best part, when my characters come to life on the page and in my head (and hopefully in your head).
Sharing these stories and seeing other people respond is also special.
