Thankyou for your important information regarding characters in one's story. Nice to see an Australian person on here. I'm a wannabe writer, have lots of stuff in my head but just need help to sling it together.
About 15 years ago I wrote and illustrated little stories for my grandchildren. I didn't get them published, just tookmthem along to Officeworks who put a cover on them. Sadly all copies have been misplaced.
Feel like it's time to start over but probably with books for adults.
Do you find you go back over the story after the first draft and enhance this component? That's how I am envisioning bringing more depth. Right now I am focussed on getting the core story done so I can go back and start adding more heart.
Absolutely! The more you write the more you will get to know your characters, so it's always a process of enhancing and strengthening. Every draft you do you will improve these things. It's my favourite part.

Oh how sad those stories have been misplaced. And it's never too late to start over!

Awesome. I really want to get this first draft done so I can work my way back through it.
