Where do characters in stories come from?
They come from the mind of the author.
There’s a whole bunch of questions that are good to think about for each character.
So let’s rewind a bit and go back to the beginning.
How old should the character be?
What’s their name?
What do they do?
What’s their personality?
What interesting habits could they have?
How do they move?
How do they behave?
What makes them different?
How do they feel?
What are they thinking?
If you ask questions like these - and more - you might come up with the next Mick.
Or, erm, an even better character.
