Episode description
In this episode, Sarah and Lisa discuss how they research and create characters. It's a tricky one to summarise in dot points, but here we go:
- Sarah shares the key things she includes in a character summary sheet for her protagonists and secondary characters
- Lisa shares her "organic" approach to building characters (without a summary sheet) but from looking at the character's journey through the story.
- They discuss the benefits of deeper research
- Sarah discusses the "Easter Egg" character she includes in each of her books
- They discuss what "keeping a character consistent" means (to them)
