Bringing Your Character To Life Video Roz Morris Free Ebook
Roz believes that characters bind us to the story. The characters are why readers care. Readers remember characters more than any other part of a novel. All this is discussed in the Youtube video Writing Fiction: Bring Your Characters to life. Amazon currently is offering her book Nail Your Novel Instant Fix: 100 tips for fascinating characters, for free in the kindle format. I found value in the video. I also downloaded her free book. Good resource.
Roz shares a lot of helpful ideas, and takes pleasure in doing so. She includes lots of beginner faults: nice characters, which is so funny, because you can't create drama if everyone is nice! She suggested the writer has to set a baseline understanding to for the reader to use to measure characters, and that there are times when readers should be allowed to fill in the blanks and when they shouldn't. That sounds like something helpful to understand.
I will be interested to read her sugestions on development of dystopian characters, too.
