I think when it comes to developing characters in a thriller or horror-type novel, a writer needs to figure out what kind of character they wish their character to be, one who flies away or one who fights. This makes a difference in how their character develops throughout their story. It is essential to know which one the character will be because it dramatically impacts how the story is written. I like to vary. Not every character needs to be the same, and not every character may act the same in flight or fight mode. Still, as a writer of this genre, I believe it’s important to know what kind of character you want for your story, one who fights or flies away, because it helps bring another depth into your book.
So what kind of character you like to write? For me, I like to write about both. I like the idea of a fighting character, but also a character in flight mode. Both have a specific method to see things, which allows my books to be written in particular ways. I find it interesting looking at both fight and flight when deciding on how I want my character to be.
