Back Into the Swing of Things

This post is primarily an update about my writing life and what's going on.
For a while I had a fairly large project, which was something of a very long free-write which eventually would have become part of a fantasy novel. It's been some months since I've written anything for that project, but I'm getting fired up again about writing. So now's the time I've rented several books from the library on the subject and when I've begun to devour these. I've also been to the bookstore recently, and I've acquired another book.
Now I'm in the phase of exploring. My 2 main goals at this point are first, to come up with a premise for a book and second, to develop my lead character well enough to know how he'll respond. (If a car comes flying at him, is he the adventurous type to try to jump over it, or will he simply dodge out of the way?
Besides devouring books and thinking a lot, I find myself freewriting to discover who my character is. (Again, if I know him I can watch him more closely).
So, with these things in mind, I'll get back to writing.
Let me know if you have questions, thoughts, comments, or ideas. I appreciate any and all feedback I can get. Thanks!
