I have a book, written for screenplay writers, that has 50 questions to ask and answer about your character. It goes into all the corners, and I've found it great for setting up book characters as well.

For that reason, I always create a character bible before I write a rough plot outline.

When designing a character, I like to use a song and/or Bible verse to help define who they are and how they got there.Carol Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08774996397526507909noreply@blogger.com
