Fiction Writing: Don’t Touch My Character!
by James @ Men with Pens
Fiction writers care deeply about the characters they bring to life. They think up personalities, quirks and flaws, they romanticize the image, and then they allow the vision of their character to pour forth in words.
As writers, we all want characters that come alive on the pages. Characters make or break a story. Get them wrong, and the book gets set aside. No one wants to read a dull, two-dimensional creature of fiction with no more depth than a flat piece of glass. Get a character right, though, and readers fall in love.
You can almost hear the thunk.
