OK, so it appears that I'm on a character-crafting kick with posts lately. That being said, I'm going to compile links to the posts related to this aspect of writing and put them here. Any time I add a post with the label "charactering" I'll put the link in this post. (And almost all of the ones that have come under that label to this point are here.) This post will also be in the sidebar, probably right under the genre series post.
