Jayesh Bhaware asked Gary Hoover:

How to do character building?

Gary Hoover Jayesh,

I like to think about people I know and elements of my own personality (I sometimes feel like like I'm different people depending on the situation I'm in), and then imagine the character as having certain defining characteristics that I see in myself or others. Once I have a good idea of who that character is, the rest basically takes care of itself. I sometimes feel that I'm not 'writing' as much as just leaving those characters free to react as they would to what's happening in the story.
