I have a lot of ideas for my story, and many things are falling into place. I have the dramatic climax down, the structure for jumping back and forth in time, and of course, a plot twist. However, there is one important aspect I am awfully stuck with. I want the story to be centralised on two friends, and I have the traits of my main character down, but her best friend… I can’t seem to fully capture her; her essence. Who are you, what do you want with your life? Do I flesh you out through text as I go; sketch you with letters? Or will your contours and details simply emerge out of the dark room when ready?
