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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any thoughts?
