Finding a Character’s Voice
Character development is already a difficult task. I can’t fathom how many hours I’ve spent struggling with creating characters and understanding exactly who they are. It’s not simply how the characters grow as the story progresses, but how the world reacts to them. Do they give off a different aura about them than they had … Continue reading Finding a Character’s Voice
Work, Life, Writing Balance
Earlier I wrote about how disciplined writing can yield great results for progress.
