I know there are some people who go for more of the "action" and "thriller" type books, and I would say those have a lot less character development as a general rule. Not my style though. :) <br />Aidyl from <a href="https://aidylewoh.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Noveltea</a>Aidyl Ewohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193031689876630475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217377843580701766.post-41372104277255703502016-08-17T19:01:33.435-04:002016-08-17T19:01:33.435-04:00I 100% agree!

Although I confess, as a writer, I find it waaaay easier to think up plots than characters haha. I'm currently mentally plotting this book I' super excited about but it only has 1 character #halp XD I need to work on focusing on my characters more for sure, so this is a great reminder post. :D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by <a href="http://www.paperfury.com" rel="nofollow">@ Paper Fury!</a> CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217377843580701766.post-2992690007179353292016-08-15T17:48:00.210-04:002016-08-15T17:48:00.210-04:00This year I got inspiration for a new story, and f...This year I got inspiration for a new story, and for the first time have printed off sheets and filled out the info on each character.

I'm plotting my next books and I literally have these super long charcter charts and I plan for these instead of worrying about the plot so much, just taking the charcters and telling the story. <br />See where it goes.
