CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT; ARCHITECTURE

I have been into character development during the past few weeks. Just when I think I have him/her fleshed out, I come up with another virtue or quirk. Maybe I am seeking perfection, I'm not sure. I am drawn to quirky characters or characters who one would not suggest is a purveyor of evil deeds. 

Another aspect I'm working on backdrops. I spent a few days in Philadelphia this past summer. I was fascinated by the architecture of the city hall building. Edgar Allan Poe was great in describing French and English Architecture. A Second Empire style, the building takes in all the elements of that time period. I'm mulling the idea of creating a story or play with the city hall in mind.

I recently finished describing a character in one of my short stories. I'm currently working on another character, a woman with a mysterious persona. More research is in order as to how she will develop.
