In this post, we are still on character development. Why you ask? Because they are the most important part of the story, of course J

What you need to do is analyze your characters, what do they do to each other? Which direction are they going? Is that one in love with that character? And also the most important question of all: what will interest your readers?

When dealing with character development, you need to be ruthless. Most first time writers stop when they reach this are because they don’t know what choice to make because the possibilities are so fascinating and they cant make a choice.

Keep moving the story forward event by event and try to remember that each change might change a character. You get to decide what changes there are in the novel.

As you develop your characters ask yourself “Why?”,  “Why does he or she do this?”, etc.

Todays Assignment:

• Finish developing your characters
• Begin planning out events in the story.
• Make choices regarding your characters
