To build this: most people read fiction, to escape from reality, and they are not usually interested in the views. Most people are escaping reality, wants to live an adventure through the eyes of another person. Has someone else to talk to them, hold them, drawing in his head and let him be a player in the game, which shows a book or short story.

That is, of course, the main character of a book or short story. Or the main characters. The worst thing a reader may encounter is the main character, is flat. Think about the size of the slice of life of the people you've seen in the film. The front looks very realistic. Walk behind them, you'll see that it reaches the paperboard your stand.

If your characters are cursed with this, then the reader will be a short book, if you have a print will likely land in the Recycle Bin. Design your character before you get started is to write about it, or at least before you wrote about this very much. Sit down and write out the physical characteristics of your character's height, weight, shoe size, hair color, and so on. He starts to draw a picture of this person who you are designing. Once you have an idea of who the character, and then you can begin to fill in the blanks, so the character in my head, something tangible. Give them time to adults!

Now, when you created the body as a living? Give it a personality. It requires him to have something more than the color of their hair, or as it is tall. Real people will be like this, like, attributes, and so on. Your character has too. It is one of the easiest ways to create a realistic image with rich personal "borrow" someone you know well: the figures for them.

However, there will be times when you don't know someone who works for the characters you type, so these times, your first task is to interview your character. To do this, create a list of questions, such as your birthday, what were the names of the parents, what you want to eat, what is your favorite color, and so on. Then "characters" are much the same way as the actors on stage. In few minutes pretending that they are there to answer questions in character. In detail as possible.

When you are finished, check the answer, then give it free. Most of what you know about your character cannot be used in the story, but fixed the template, write. Now if your character walks into a disgusting meat restaurant, and you know that your beloved daughter, but now after the grandmother to cook beef stew, you may well find the character, something that you expect, but fits perfectly within the scene.

The writer will talk about their characters often, with a particular case or the refused, insisting on things that he wants a writer. You fleshed also characters. If it's yours, it's time for a character of the building of the session.
