I've been starting something really interesting lately, which is writing each of my main character's back story before writing the main book (If anyone is having the dreaded block or is looking for a way to know their character's better I really recommend it). Which got me thinking, how much of it should I include in the main book? Flashbacks not included, a character's back story is a very important puzzle price in the whole book. I have always found it hard to not put everything I know about my character's in the book but it's crucial that I don't convey everything. So the question is how much should one know about a character's past??
