I doubt it.

"Doubt is the beginning of wisdom."

If doubt is the beginning of wisdom, is a question the beginning of a good story? As Stephen King says, he takes a strong character, throws him into difficulty, and then, wonders how the character will work his way through the difficulty.

Now, this doesn't work so well if the character is not well formulated. Some writers will develop their characters, writing several pages about each character, before they ever think about putting the character into a story. This feels a little formulaic for me; having tried it both ways, thus far I prefer to let the character develop in the midst of the stresses and strains of the story. Granted, I still have a fair idea if the character is wise and witty, plodder or speedster, fussy or messy, literalistic or willing to bend (or break--oh my!) the rules.

Where do characters come from? Usually, mine are purely imaginary. Oh, there may have been a leaping-off point, where one deed or phrase or behaviorism caught my attention in real life, but I think most authors are sufficiently creative to craft their own reality without much cribbing from the folks around us. Besides, how'd you feel, seeing yourself inside a story, waking up to:
   "Yipes, get me get away from this person--I don't know them, I don't want to know 'em, and I don't like the way he's looking at me, like a hungry lion stalking a lame gnu!"
   Heavy breathing in the background.
   "Help! Let me out of this story!"
   A wet gurgle that may have passed for laughter was the only reply.

   Being caught in that story...now, that would be bad gnus, baby!

   Okay, some characters are full of doubts, wonders, questions, and insufficiencies. Others are strong and capable and rarely doubt themselves. A story populated by characters of only one of these types wouldn't work terribly well, and certainly wouldn't smack of reality, would it? Sorta like you and, too much or too little doubt--either extreme doesn't set the stage for success. Solomon, by the way, would disagree with my opening quote; Solly seems to think that awestruck reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom. Whattaya think of that?

"Never in doubt...sometimes correct."
