Robert P. Rowe
Following interesting people through their lives and observing.
My characters take on lives of their own. An editor made a suggestion for a line of dialog that I knew my character wouldn't utter--but I tried it anyway. That line was the only difference. But my other character reacted badly to the line and the first character found himself headed in the wrong direction.
My characters become real people an they react in predictable ways. All I have to do is give them a reason to react and they will do the rest.
