This is part one in a series of posts.
If you’re a fiction writer, or aspiring to be one, you may already know the three basic elements of a story:
• Characters (major and minor)
• Plot (what the story is about
• Conflict (action or suspense)
Do you know that most romance readers read romance books for the sake of the characters more than for the plot?
I’m a romance writer myself so that’s good news for me. That’s why I tend to put a lot of time and effort into creating my fictional characters.
The process of creating a fleshed-out, three dimensional character involves asking a lot of questions.
You’ll have to ask yourself:
• What gender is your character? Female or Male?
• What part of the country is he from? What tribe?
• What is her name?
• How old is he?
• Is he tall, wide-shouldered, dark-skinned? Is she brown-eyed? Does she wear glasses? What is your character’s physical appearance? Example: height, skin color, eye color, hairstyle, body structure, facial structure
• Is she educated? Secondary school level or university? What schools? What courses did he take?
