Characterization--a thought and a link

I have often considered this when writing, but am not sure I've ever articulated it.

“Sometimes, creating a character isn’t about deciding who she is, but who she isn’t.”

I saw that in David B Coe's blog entry today about characterization.

He was quoting Chloe Neill's blog entry from the day before.

They both give interesting examples of how this has been useful in their own stories and characterizations.  Check them out!
