Here is a question I always wonder. Do you plan for characters first or do you plan your plot first?
Are you able to write about the character's backstory extensively without knowing what the story is about first? Because 90% of the character's life may not be relevant to the main story.
I'm just curious. I know character comes before plot, but I don't know, I do struggle in this area. When I do plan out my character's life, then I work on the plot, I'll be like... eh? I'm telling two different stories altogether!
Does that ever happen to you or am I simply the weird one out?
