One: “Exploring” characters
Two: Fixing Plot Holes
Three: Thinking of interesting plot ideas
Four: Torturing characters with horrific and morbid events, resulting in angst and mental/emotional stress.
Five: Throwing obstacles at the main characters therefore causing character development
Six: Going into deeper depths in the characters’ personality
Seven: Analyzing a character’s relationship with other characters
Eight: Attempting to include a meaningful backstory into each character
All of this with occasional doses of psychology. This isn’t the finished result yet….
that’s it for now.
