from Write, Writer, Write! · host Deborah Froese

This episode of Write, Writer, Write! explores how character development reflects not only the people on the page but the writer behind them. Drawing on insights from Jordan Rosenfeld and Manuscript Momentum Challenge participant Katie Harbath, Deborah Froese looks at how the choices we make about character—real or imagined—reveal our values, assumptions, and emotional truths. She also shares how these qualities show up in her own work. The episode closes with a few reflection questions to help you discover what your characters reveal about you.
