Thank you for this golden nugget of advice! This is helpful for a budding novelist like me who needs 3d characters not 2d. In fact, I intend to make at least one of them 4d or even 5d! But that's literally a whole other story.... I love your voice too and this fellow you chose as an example was a great choice. I'm diving into your website and so far it is very nice and is also helpful. :)
