First of all, loved this interview. I am just starting to write the first scene between my two protagonists (working on 4th book in a series so they are already established) and I avoided starting the chapter by reading this transcript. Perfect timing. The series is science fiction, where I have gotten to help create a new world, in collaboration with other authors, but my doctoral training in social history has made me much more comfortable writing the sections that deal with social differences between the 2 characters than their personality differences. This is was a good reminder that I need to do both. Thanks! And this did a wonderful job of making me anxious to read the book, so good job on both of your parts. (smile)
That is wonderful to hear! So excited that this conversation helped you in your work as a writer, and your new series sounds fascinating. I hope members of our community reading this will go and check out your Substack, which I very much enjoy, and your marvelous series of novels! Thank you for commenting, and good luck with those characters and their intriguing personality differences!
I'm excited for this one!
