Talking to a Fox

If a non-human being appears in your story, you may want to know some things about it.  Let's say one of your story characters is a fox. Here's a list of questions to consider: 1. Where does the fox come from? 2. Where does it live? 3. Does it live alone or with other foxes? Or with someone else? 4. What is good about this animal? What's not so good? 5. What does it need? What does it want? 6. What does it love, like, enjoy? What does it dislike? 7. Did something happen in the past? Does the fox have a secret? 7. What role does the fox play in the story?  8. Is it dangerous? 9. Does it have a message to you? I hope you'll enjoy answering tbe questions. Good luck!
