Creating Characters: How to Build Story People
Description:
Vibrant, believable characters help drive a fictional story. Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along.
'The core of character,' he says in chapter 1, 'lies in each individual story person s ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important.' Building on that foundation the capacity to care Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing 'characters who turn you on.' This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.
