Greetings, fellow scribes
I wonder if any of you would be so kind as to provide some advice on how best to create some back story ideas of your characters that help shape them into the adults they one day will be (not necessarily main protagonists!) I understand that this exercise is meant to influence them as adults in terms of how they react or even act (or don’t react or act) in the story.
I am doing an exercise where I need to come up with five experiences my character went through as a child/youngster and I came up with some good ones at first but now I am wondering if one really needs to do five? I feel the further along I went the more ridiculous watered down they seemed. Aren’t a few better than many?
