I write as much as I can about my characters - in short stories it is essential!
I know their age, hair color, social relationships, etc.
Then, I choose the narrator. It's a practical way of writing.
Many times people think that my stories are based on real facts but it is not so, my stories are always fiction.
I love this, @marcybetancourt. Would you like to write a "guest blog" post for one of our upcoming tips posts? I know people would love to hear your method!
