I’ve found my that my free “sketching” with characters - where I just pick a theme or environment to throw them into without much thinking about where/why - produces so many more answers about who they are and why they behave as they do than if I’m just brainstorming without action.
For example, I decided to do this little sketch of these two characters for Halloween and now I have some OPINIONS about who these sisters are and what the best story to tell about them might be.
Go make something today. A picture, a bench, a pie, whatever. It’s a good use of time, dang it.
