EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Dec 17, 2010 #4my strategy is like this: Write about the characters you understand the best, and search for points of comparison and contrast. You can relate any three people in any stories.The trick is to relate all characters to a common concept... a concept that glues them all together. It does not have to be something they all have in common... just something they can all be discussed in relation to.:-)
