Talk about the characters - Do the characters all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?

Characters come to me as I write. The only one that I started with was Neil and the others began to fill in the gaps from there on out. I did start with knowing the framework for the three families and their superpowers.  I knew what would be important to the family as a whole and that spurned many new characters as well. Within each family there needs to be nuance of interpretation of the world where they live. That’s how you get characters like Rhys and Jennifer in the same family. Usually you’ll be able to sense a void in the work where a new character is needed. You get started by understanding what a character can add to the work as a whole. Truly the most rewarding thing about writing is once you are working with fully formed characters that can take the story wherever they please.
