These entries don't get many replies, but I mostly make them because I enjoy talking about the writing process.
My favorite part of a character is when they finally break free from my hold and grab hold of their own destiny. Perhaps a peculiar sounding idea to some, but powerfully real to me. I bring this up now because for a long time I was having trouble nailing down just who one of my female characters was. I recently extrapolated upon an important event in her past that became probably her most defining moment. It was just today that I realized a choice she was going to make at some point in the story, something I had never anticipated, and no matter what I previously thought her ultimate fate was going to be, I can't say no. She's no longer in my control.
That's awesome.
