A writer must love their characters to give them wings.
"... in order to create a character - think him up, animate him, stick with him for five hundred pages - a writer has to be enthusiastic about that character. Even if not everybody else is.
Which means you must believe in your characters. Be convinced of their solidity. Feel a quickening of interest as you decide what they'll do next. Care about their fates.
...
Your interest will come through in the writing. We'll discover more depth in the characters - because YOU have."
