In the light of this: Most people read fiction to escape reality and are not usually the beautiful landscape. Most people, the reality flow assurance we want an adventure through the eyes of another person of life. That someone else must speak for them, grab hold of them, draw it in his head and let them become actors in the game, which is the presentation of the book or the history.

This is the main character of the book or story, of course. Or the main characters. The most annoying thing, readers might if one is main characters, which is flat. Remember life size out people who have seen in the cinema. You seem quite real front. Running around behind them and all I see is cardboard and stand.

If your character is with this cursed then are some of your readers and your book, if you have such a stamp, you likely will land in the trash. Correction for this is the design of your character before you begin or, or at least before you wrote very much for this. Sit down and write all the physical attributes your character is height, weight, shoe size, hair color, etc.. This will start, a picture for you paint this person of which, that is design. After you a good idea, which is the character get, then you start, can fill the gaps so, grew that characters in head, can be something significant. You time for adults!

Now, have you created body, such as the character to life? It personality. This requires that you, that something more than just the color of your hair or how much is real people may have give, how, quirks, etc., that too must your character.

To do this, you create a list of questions, such as where it was born, what are the names of his parents, what do you like when you eat, what is your favorite, etc. then "much in the same way as participants of the stage get in character". For a few minutes the characters do so, as you are, and answer the questions. Go to as many details as you allow.

If you're ready, read the answers then take it away. Most of what you know about your hero is unlikely to be used in the story, but you have a hard template to write. Now if your character in the restaurant and they know cooking, beef stew you that your favorite hero, but now deceased grandmother uses can you cook beef stew, very well find your character you make perfect in a scene something Expectedbut, which is never.

Developers will often talk about their characters fight with them, he refused, do certain things, or on things to do, you want not the writer. These are the signs of a well fleshed characters. If you do not, then it's time for a little character session.
