How to Write a Good Book

John Cleaver is an incredibly active character and a very closed character he's very insular. Michael needs other people in his life and all of his emotions and his reactions are very broad. I was mostly just trying to come up with somebody who would be interesting to watch for a while. Did you write your way into this character it felt like you started with him much stronger at least in the draft I read than oftentimes you do with your characters.
