On Writing Characters with Women's Fiction Author Elizabeth Sumner Wafler

Welcome to a fun chat about writing, developing characters, and finding inspiration with women's fiction author Elizabeth Sumner Wafler. Like many of us, Elizabeth came to writing as a second career and has mined her own life for inspiration for both her plots and her characters. While our intent in this conversation was to focus on characters and character development, like many conversations with authors, we ended up touching on so many other areas of writing, like dialogue, critique partners, plotting and outlining.
