Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Back at the desk, working on revisions. I’m very pleased with how my novel is fleshing out. My next task is to make sure that a reader can picture my characters as well as I have. I’ve lost my perspective, you see. I’ve been with these characters day in and day out. I know them, but do the readers know them?

As a guide to my writing, I’ve consulted this character advice article. From Writing World, the article gives some very clear advice on creating memorable, recognizable characters. I wanted to be especially careful with three female characters. They are all blond, but their personalities are strikingly different, at least I hope that is obvious on paper. So now the dissection begins to make sure that they are distinct and that a clear picture exists of them. I’m enjoying this. This is truly the fun part for me.
