A challenge and a Half!

Developing interesting characters that will engage your readers from the start is very difficult!

Usually when I have an idea for a story, the main character is integral to it - but this time, I worked on a plot first, with only the vaguest of characters.

I want readers to hope A lives, and B dies horribly, and please please don't kill off sweet old C or hard done by D!

I missing a title for this story too, but I'm more about concerned about the people in it!
