Cafes are a great starting point for finding characters.
Always keep a small notebook in your pockets and something to write with.
Another place to find characters are magazines and
newspapers. So over a coffee and reading
your paper or magazine look for an interesting face. Try not to choose a famous
person. Secondly, give them a range of
characteristics:
Their favourite
food
Their status
Their employment
status
The way they dress
Their family
members
Their
relationships
Their bad habits
The thing they
like to do more than anything else
how tall are they
what do they look like
Add to this list
Make three of four character profiles and put them into a
group. They are having coffee with
you. Create a conversation about their
next holiday destination.
Soon the characters will become alive in your mind.
