I'm really interested in how you describe writing character as something like love. I didn't have the words for it, but you are so right- specificity feels like getting closer to something we didn't know. I've been writing a flawed character lately, I disagree with her, but have felt the need to keep writing. I wrote a detail the other day where she squeezes a plastic whale in a shop whenever she passes it. It's sounds stupid, but it felt like love, like I'm there for her, I've got her back, whatever she does.
