Creating Characters: Three Ways to Find Ideas for Your Characters


Listen Later

Character creation is something I enjoy a lot in stories. It isn't my favorite part of writing, but it is in the top ten. One of the reasons I enjoy writing characters is because I do not find it a hard thing to do. The first step of developing characters for me is finding the basic structure of that character. This process used to be more difficult, but I have found a few places to find characters that make the process extremely easy. As with most other aspects of storytelling, the goal of my podcast is to break down each aspect of writing into the most basic parts. I believe that if a person can understand the fundamentals of good writing, they can use those fundamentals and practice and develop good writing for themselves. Good characters are just one aspect of good writing, but, as I always say, good storytelling centers around characters. So, finding ideas for characters becomes extremely important in light of this fact.
