QUOTE:
Webster: "Character interviewing" is a classic technique from the dramaturgy world. … You're often given the "how" of a character and their function within the plot. It's then your job as a writer to flesh out the "why". And who better to ask than the character themselves?
I like to imagine the character in my head and then ask them a question, such as: "how do you feel about [major plot point]?" …
You may find some characters are naturally chatty and very forthcoming with their answers. Maybe you imagine them frequently talking with their hands and gesturing, or you may get the idea that they're enjoying the spotlight. Other characters might be more shy, dismissive, or even mistrusting.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreifzghdf726o2m2u5c673wcjf7bqh4tt2sfhbvgkny6lo3r52brtti)
