writing..

Isn't a book all about it's characters? I mean, is it not the characters that set the theme, the place, the script and even the direction it takes? The basic foundation of any book is it characters. Unless of course if it is a book without characters...but wait!, a book without characters? That doesn't seem possible. If you think about it, any temporal object, be it living or non-living is a prospective character in a book. And once mentioned it assumes the role of the character. Unless there is no development to this object and there are many such objects that just gets mentioned haphazardly, but then the narrator itself embody the character. There is probably no way out of it.

So a character to a book is ineluctable and hence it would seem that a good book is about good characters. 

Now what is a "good" character? The "good" here doesn't necessarily have to be a maxim of morality. Good only means 'interesting', 'captivating' or 'fascinating'. All the same. 

We now conclude that writing a book is all about finding character/s which one find interesting, in a world that is mysterious.

Now there is mystery?
