CHARACTER GUIDANCE
Build People, Not Profiles
Create characters readers understand, remember and care about. Start with desire and contradiction, then build the choices, relationships and change that make a person feel alive on the page.
CHARACTER 01
Begin with the person beneath the plot
A memorable character is more than a name, a role and a list of traits. These lessons help you discover what your character wants, fears and refuses to admit.
CHARACTER 02
Give every character an inner argument
Real people contain contradictions. They justify themselves, hide parts of the truth and often believe they are right.
CHARACTER 03
Let change become visible
A character arc matters when choices leave a mark. Use behaviour, objects and subtext to show the journey rather than explain it.
