12/14 UPDATE: THE INDIE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO CREATING CAPTIVATING CHARACTERS IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE!
November 22, 2021
I’m thrilled to announce that my very first guided writing workbook is launching on Tuesday, December 14!
Character development might just be my favorite part of fiction writing, and I’m so excited to share my favorite strategies, writing exercises, and prompts in a format that will help you make real progress on your novel — and is more financially accessible than a traditional workshop or course.
The Indie Author's Guide to Creating Captivating Characters
If you're struggling to create dynamic, compelling characters that jump off the page and into readers' hearts, you're not alone. Whether you’re developing your protagonist or the bad guy’s sidekick, whether you know a little something about your characters or nothing at all, The Indie Author's Guide to Creating Captivating Characters will help you bring them to life with guided exercises for every stage of development:
Generate character ideas
Identify objectives and limiting beliefs
Outline character journeys using classic character arcs
Ensure your characters' decisions are driving your plot
Create primary and supporting character profiles
Freewrite and reflect on your development process
These guided exercises—plus ten additional character development writing prompts—will help you eliminate “blank slate” syndrome so you can start to suss out exactly who you’re dealing with and how they got to be the way they are.
