That's what I prefer to do. Maybe just a general reason for going adventuring with the party, but otherwise discover and develop characters in play!

By all means people can write backstories if they want. I just sometimes see it being treated as mandatory and a sign of taking the game seriously, when really it's just a matter of style and taste.
