Character writing

Great stories are often about great characters. To get a feeling of what a character I am creating is all about, I like to make a collage from old magazines and newspapers.
Find pictures of things like:

 

  • How they might look
  • The car they might drive
  • The sister they might have
  • The food they might like to eat, and so on

 

You don’t have to include a sister or the type of car they drive in your story. The point is to feel that you know your character as if they were a real person.
