Another great post from editor extraordinaire, Cheryl Klein

Cheryl Klein's blog has a beautiful post on the relationship between characters and plot. Here's an excerpt:

...good plotting grows out of the complications inherent in good characters, and the choices and situations those characters are driven to make.

She goes on from there to come up with "a character-driven view of plot construction, in which a a good book develops its story in five simple steps". Interested? Check it out at Brooklyn Arden: A Character-Based View of Plot.
