Servitor Interview?, Could a method used by fiction authors be helpful when creating entiti Options

This may sound completely stupid but forgive me I'm a noob to all this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/baby.gif)

I've heard that sci-fi and fantasy authors 'interview' their characters by imagining them sitting across from them in a room and asking questions. The answers are supposed to let you get to the know the characters more.

Could this be useful if you intended to give a servitor/tulpa/whatever a personality? I was thinking about creating a 'friend' servitor just to start out with, and I was wondering if this could help.

And if it could, what would be some good questions to ask?

Sorry about going so far off subject but thanks so much this is a huge help. I learned all of what I know in a 'haphazard' way too, backwards form what you just advised with studying religion coming before magick. I started with Wicca and then branched out into other Pagan religions(I was raised Christian but having it kind of shoved down my throat all my life I have a strong dislike for it). When I started exploring Buddism I came across the idea of the Tulpa and became fascinated and overly eager to create one.

The books are a problem. I couldn't live alone even if I wanted to right now and getting the books in undetected would be nearly impossible(there's no way they'd be allowed in this house, either). I've just been studying on the Internet and I know not everything there can be totally trusted as fact, although I do trust Sacred-Magick.

The diary will be as simple a word processor or notebook but I think I'll have to wait before taking this much father. Right now I'm limited to studying online and doing meditation and working with energy or Ki, with knowledge of Wiccan spells I never really use. I'm only 17 and 3-4 years sounds like forever to me but for this I'm very content to wait until I can do it all properly. Seems I'll be biding my time for now.
