So far in revision three, I've come to the exciting realization that I know my characters better! Better than when I first dreamed them up and put them in the story, and better than when I tore then apart and put them back together again for the second revision.
I'm finding that I have to change the way I introduce them because I now know how they work, think, talk, carry themselves. I know what makes them tick. What they hide and what they tell. They have depth like real people!
I thought I knew all this before, but it wasn't until I spent months with them in revision 2 that I truly got to know them. I like my characters much better now, and they make the story even more exciting to tell.
