Character Development is Second; Choosing the Right Character is First

from How to Write Good · host Daniel Poppie

Did you know that characters are really important to your story? You did, huh? Are you aware that there is a way to develop a character starting with only know that this character has a small scar on the tip of his finger? Oh, so you did watch my other episode on that?It is usually the case that when a person writes a story, they go through the process of developing a story, but they give very little thought to who their main character is. They have a sense of who they want their main character to be, and they take no time to explore the possibilities that open with different characters. Testing different characters in your story is very important, because who the character is determines many things that happen in the story. So, in a significant sense, the main character you choose determines the story.My Book: https://amzn.to/31UcCPgMy Newsletter:https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/a1r2k2Episode on how to find characters: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/32320666My Website:www.danielpoppie.com HTWG Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/howtowritegoodHTWG Twitter: https://twitter.com/danielpoppieHTWG Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielpoppieOne Last Toast for Ebenezer Fleet:https://www.spreaker.com/show/one-last-toast-for-ebenezer-fleet
