When writing, I love to build our characters’ backgrounds even if we don’t use it. A. Catherine Noon, my co-author, and I try to incorporate the zodiac signs into our characters. Sometimes we need them to have a particular date for their birthday as a plot point. Other times it just seems to fit them.
It’s an interesting aspect that can give them personality traits we might not have originally thought up for them. It can also spin off into hobbies or quirks that add to and make them seem more real.
A fine idea!
