How do we take our characters from their sketchy beginnings and make them come alive?

How do we make them convincing?

All writers struggle to make characters believable.

But much of what readers come to know about a character isn’t stated explicitly. It's  submerged in the way a character speaks, moves, thinks, and behaves.

It's beneath the surface.

The challenge is conveying all that's beneath the surface to your readers.

In this episode, learn 3 ways to write convincing characters.

We'll cover:

• How to tap into your emotions to create believable characters;
• Why you don't have to experience what your characters are experiencing in order to write  about it; 
• How characters are revealed in  relation to one another, and why creating situations that bring characters together is a more organic way to think about plot, and;
• Why revision is essential to creating characters readers believe in.
