CREATIONS OF OUR MINDS

Writers can create characters however they choose and in whatever they choose. I like creating characters who are complex, confused, or contemplating a significant change in his/her life. 

I avoid typecasting a character because of their physical features or handicaps. Examples are 'the jolly fat man', 'trusty sidekick', 'the dutiful secretary', 'the happy drunk'. I believe a character can be a multitude of many personalities. A boring character does not make a story compelling or interesting.
