Creating Characters In 7 Easy Steps

Creating Characters In 7 Easy Steps

When we create fictional characters, writers often get lost in the mind-boggling complications listed on the internet. So many blogs and writing advice sites give reams and reams of things you have to do to create a compelling character. What should you do first? Start with their name or their personality traits? Or perhaps go right to the guts of it and find their flaws? And then how to create their journey to show character growth with a dynamic arc?

With so much to do, it's easy to see how writers can get confused and get bogged down. This writer's workshop will teach you all the above but more important, you'll come away knowing how to 'Creating Characters In 7 Easy Steps' and you'll have a new character modelled and formed within 7 days!
