How to Master Character Creation in 7 Simple Steps
Craft characters your readers won’t forget
--
Characters are the engine of every story.
Quite often, indeed, they live longer than the story itself. How many of you happened to remember perfectly the characters of a novel you read many years ago and not remember the plot at all?
Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations.
Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing
