In this week’s episode, my co-host, Sara Whitford, and I talked about the importance of your story’s protagonist. Most novels are character-driven, so you need to give serious consideration as to your protagonist and what you want, need, and expect from him/her–from physical traits to personality traits. We discuss the 25% rule of thumb, how to interview your protagonist, and other important considerations.
Additionally, here’s a link to some great information provided by Laurie S. Campbell about the Psychology of Creating Characters, http://www.booklaurie.com/workshops_flaw.php
There are some good writing tips on www.sarawhitford.com
So I hope you’ll take a few minutes to listen and learn all about character development, which is especially important in regards to your protagonist.
