I’m a bit of a planner when it comes to writing. I need a framework, something to help keep my eye on the end game. Before I begin any story or chapter it has to be planned in as much detail as possible. In the past, most of my planning focused on plot. Moving the story from A to B. While I include character development in this, it never had much of a focal point.

The more I write, the more my appreciation for the significance of characterisation grows. A natural inclusion it seems I’ve taken when it comes to planning is the inclusion of character plots…
