		<description><![CDATA[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. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost all good stories need conflict - and not the epic battle-style of conflict. The conflicts that bring characters alive are the smaller conflicts that occur between two people, a small group and the internal conflicts we deal with on a daily basis.Conflict adds an incredible amount of depth to characters. Without conflict, a character falls flat. No one wants to read about Joe Schmoe and his easy life where everything goes his way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A great novel has stunning visual imagery. There's no way around it; if you can literally "see" the scene in your head, then the book you're reading reached a fantastic goal. But you can't make a novel based on description alone. You need dialogue. Good dialogue, interesting dialogue. Characters need to interact and speak to create a novel that people can "see" in their minds]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the 7 Deadly Fears of Writing is the fear of research. Either you love researching or you hate it, but a realistic novel can't avoid it. The details you add to your novel are what make the story credible and help suspend disbelief. The days of poring over old tomes and searching endless shelves of reference material at libraries are gone. Today, all the information you need is literally at your fingertips thanks to the Internet and search engines.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fear of the unknown. Fear of pain. Fear of death. Isn’t that what holds you back from putting your character through hell? But without the raw emotion that only hurting your character creates, you’ll never achieve a rich, in-depth story that grips readers – from the heart. What makes us fear pain so much, even the pain experienced by characters that don’t exist? We are afraid of what hurts our characters because we know it will hurt us, too.]]></description>
