this fucking title needs changing and that first chapter is fake

Some things I find that are incomplete in the world of characters.

On Wattpad, I've seen many comprehensive writing guides that have helped me so much in my own writing, and I figured that I want to do the same by putting my input in some of these chapters. I hope you find the advice useful!

Based on tumblr prompt: Describe each day of the week as if it was a person. Just a little practice since I have no homework to do.

A short story that explores characterization.

What are you supposed to do when there's a corpse outside your house, call the police? ------ Okay wait, the title and summary make it seem stupid, but it's better than it seems? I don't know, only two of my friends have read it and it's turned out better than most of my other writing so... yeah. Well, I currently haven't drawn a cover, so, a picture of Rohan will do for now. Also, this story started with me wanting to work on characterization for Rohan because I seriously have been doubting my writing lately and something that started with a prompt of 'Murder investigation' turned into this. So here you go.

{Currently Open} It's difficult to argue that characters in fiction aren't paramount to their novels. They engage the reader through their goals, invoke particular emotions with their tragedies, and inspire using their successes. More importantly, they teach the crucial lessons in life by pointing out the flaws in certain human beings, which resonates with the audience for an entire lifetime. Using these types of characters, this Wattpad book serves to benefit readers and authors alike. It challenges writers to develop their characters past the usual questions of where they live and what influences their decisions. It brings up ideas that perhaps weren't thought of in the process of developing the character or induces "eureka" moments in regards to the plotline. In the meantime, it promotes stories that readers might have been looking for amongst the rubble of repeat-offenders and clichés, so what are you waiting for? Ask for an interview or read now.

hi i gave up on making fanfics so ill just make a whole book for chance this involves: their basic infomation (name, age(?), pronouns, characteristics, etc) their old & new lore their relationships my opinion on the character and its fanbase.

Anakin loses his mother and Padmé tries to both be there for him and come to terms with her chaotic feelings. A/N: People complain a lot about Padmé's reaction to Anakin confessing to murdering the Tusken Raiders, as well as the romance as a whole. I decided to write this scene out from her point of view, hopefully adding some depth to it - depth that I saw in the movie. The title is a reference to a poem out of Mary Oliver's "Thirst".

A guide to using the Tarot as a tool in crafting characters, plots, and settings. Included are various spreads and interpretations I've come up with over the years, for use in my own projects. Any deck can be used, though I highly suggest the Rider-Waite deck for its timeless imagery. The Tarot is much more than a simple divination tool. It can be applied in many different ways by writers. My work is heavily inspired by this ancient system, and I'm pleased to share my insights with you. If you have any suggestions, or questions in general, feel free to comment! I can also do personal consultations as my time allows.

It's an assignment I had to do for my fiction class. It was supposed to be based off of the beginning of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. It's a bit of characterization loosely based off of the personalities of some people on the St. Benedict's Prep track team that includes me by the way. Vote and Comment
