Should the characters drive the plot, or should the plot drive the characters? or are they both equally important?
Which is more important to develop first before writing?
Originality of which is more akin to literary success? Think about the most popular books out there that have somewhat flat or less-developed characters, but great and original plots, and vice verse.
Is starting out characters as flat on purpose, then giving them complex development a good tactic? (Often done seriously in film, humorously in Cabin in the Woods)
What advice do you have for developing both a great plot and great characters simultaneously?
