I very much write from characters. Those people start speaking, and then I have them in the house with me and I live with them. Then at some point, it’s time to get them out of the house. You can only live with someone like Dr. Georgeous Teitelbaum from THE SISTERS ROSENSWEIG for so long, and then it’s time for her to go. But it is very like having the company of these people and trying to craft them in some way into a story.
