“Unlock Their Secrets: The Art of Interviewing Your Characters for Unforgettable Stories”
Interviewing a character is extremely simple. Here are the steps:
1) Decide which character in your novel you want to get to know better.
2) Open up your word processor and start a new document.
3) Ask your character any question that comes to mind. A good one is, “What’s your main problem at the start of this novel?”
4) Let your character answer, however long or short they want to go.
5) Ask another question based on that answer. You can be friendly or antagonistic, or both, or neither. Pretend you’re writing a feature article for your favorite news outlet. Make your character talk. Listen to how they express themselves. Continue until you’re done.
