When my ms came back from a publisher, I had sent it to, they said I hadn’t written enough background information on my characters.

I’m now write a page per character to get to know them in person before rewriting my novel. I had writing their personal details out when I had created them, but this is a page of being inside their heads.

I think it’s working as I have a clear picture of their way of thinking.

You have a great blog here and I’m so glad I found you.
