Great questions. I do some interviews mostly beautiful people. Other than that I let them come alive on the page, and I let them keep their secrets. I feel like I don't need to know everything about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Skye! Yes, Beautiful People is great, and so is learning about your characters through writing them. :) I like to leave parts of my characters a mystery too, but knowing some of their secrets helps me out with the plot. ;) Thank you for commenting!
DeleteI have never done a charter interview. Maybe it has to do with my pantser lifestyle, but I get to know the characters as I write them. Not the easiest process since they can be stubborn, but I'm forced to make it work. LOL I have no control.
ReplyDeleteHaha I feel you Meka! As a half panster/half plotter I sympathise immensely. xD You could always interview them after the first draft if you like! :) Thanks for commenting!
DeleteI haven't really done that many character interviews. I typically need to observe my characters first for a long while before I can interview them. Though these questions will most certainly help when I do!
ReplyDeleteP.S. So glad you're doing the book!!!!!!!!

Tehee I observe my characters quite a bit too, and sometimes do that first before interviewing. I hope when you sit your characters down in the interviewing chair these questions help! :D
DeleteYay!!! Thanks for the push. <3 Thank you for commenting Catherine!
A WORKBOOK WOULD BE SO COOL, LET ME JUST SAY. XD
ReplyDeleteAwesome questions! Here are a few other great ones I've used, modified to fit the interview format. :)
What, if anything, would you like to change about your life?
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
What are your long-term and short-term goals?
Just thought I'd share those. Yours are great!!! :D
YAY I'M GLAD, THANK YOU! xD
DeleteThose are great questions!! Thanks for sharing, and for commenting Lila! <#
Beautiful <333 I shall use these questions :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Lisa! I hope they help you out. <3
DeleteThis is a great set of questions! These are seriously so useful. I'm using them for my NaNo prep!
