Many times the characters will have attributes of people in real life that I know whether this is physical or personality wise. I have to be able to visualize each character as a person, if I can’t then they usually either get axed from the script or meet an early demise. From the start I have decided what the characters will look like and their personality types. I will try to do a small outline for the character’s events as a guide although I do not always adhere to the outline. I will then build the characters from there. I will decide in the early stages whether the main character will be male, female, or perhaps a couple of main characters. When I’m in the beginning processes of writing a novel or book I tend to begin with a scenario or chain of events and build my characters around the particular events.
