As there are two of us working on NeveN, you get two answers for the price of one (there's a bit of an overlap between the answers, as we each replied separately)!

Nev :

My favourite part of the job is creating and exploring characters. I like to imagine their personalities, the way they talk and act and all their little habits before throwing them into all sorts of situations to see how they react. I also love working on their development, seeing how I can get them from point A to point B (I usually know where the characters start and where I want them to end up, but what happens in between can be a lot more vague!).

Argolath :

I think character writing is the best part. You get to give them a voice, you see them evolve over the course of the story, and you kind of evolve along with them. I'm just as eager as any reader to see where it's going to lead because we develop part of the narrative along the way, so there's also that element of discovery in the writing that I enjoy. Also, song writing is another fun exercice, especially as it's a challenge to translate them from French to English, and I love a good challenge!
