Congrats on finishing the new book :-) I will be picking it up, when I have finish my 6 books reading challenge. I was wondering what you do, when you get an idea to a character, how do you go from an idea to a "person"? Do you ask yourself questions about the character?
Kristen Simmons
Hi Iris! Great question, and thank you for the congratulations! I do ask myself questions about a character. I make sure I know some basic things before I ever start writing them - their history, what led them to where they are today, what they believe strongly in, likes and dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and what they feel particularly vulnerable about.
Happy reading!

Hey Kristen Simmons! I really loved Article 5 and started read Breaking Point last year but unfortunately had to stop because my library needed it back ASAP! Don't worry, I'm about to pick it up again soon! Anyway, you have an amazing writing style and I love Ember and Chase. Have you ever written any short story to do with the Article 5 series or/and are wanting to? Thanks! xx
