Thanks, Kath and Dr. Javitt! My approach to most of the characters in the book is to try to create a real person out of whole cloth and once that person has flesh and blood, a personality, and other key attributes – and only then – to turn that fictional character loose on the stage of the story as see what happens.

Great advice, and an interesting interview. Thanks, Kath and Dr. Javitt!

Well said! This is an excellent interview. Now I must go out and get JJ's book, which sounds like a great, but disturbing, read. “I have learned much more about fiction writing from reading the works of my favorite authors than from any book I have ever read about writing.”
