How stupid could these two shoplifters be and still be entertaining? My operating theory as a writer is that criminals are inherently stupid. But characters can and do arise completely out of my imagination, like Ace and Frosty in When Pigs Fly. Lots of the characters have a sliver of my personality: how I am, how I’d like to be, or what I fear I could become. Largely, my characters are built from a combination of traits: this guy’s beer gut, that gal’s tattoo. Where do a novel’s characters come from?

We always think of salt as our go-to when a meal tastes too bland, but there are other spices, like cumin, that bring out the natural flavors of food.
