I have lately heard everyone saying that I should write character biographies to give my characters dimension and make them real. The problem is that I don´t understand how you do it.
Some people say that they put a lot of time working on their characters but how can it take like months to find answers out of the blue for a bunch of questions.
I can understand looking for a flaw that the character must overcome in order to a achieve his goal, that´s practical. But all the other stuff that I should know but that wont show in the screenplay, where does it come from? Basically I want to know why it should take a couple of months to work on my characters. I´want to do it right.
