For a novelist to create character, I think, takes a sharp objective eye but also an intuitive intelligence, a receptiveness, a wilingness to make oneself blank in order to percieve things as they actually are. The trick of creating character is to try to see all people, even unsympathetic ones, without projecting one's own personality and values on them.
-- Donna Tartt –
Have a great Wednesday!
