Here we are at the third Saturday in September and the third installment of September’s Saturday Character Questionnaire.  If you’ve been following along, you already have 160 questions in your notebook that will help you build a three dimensional hero/heroine.  (Or should have. *wink*)  In case you’ve missed the last couple posts, you can find them here…
