Creating Characters
While hosting fiction writing workshops in the spring, I noticed how beginning writers struggled to create characters and to develop a plot. Join reflection, I realized these beginners need more in the way of examples and guidance. This led to my new series of ebooks, the Beginner's Guides. The first one Beginner's Guide to Developing Genuine Characters is now available for pre-order: https://www.amazon.com/Beginners-Guide-Creating-Genuine-Characters-ebook/dp/B0DF69DWPV?

Here is the partial book description:
Inexperienced fiction writers struggle with character development. To overcome their inexperience, they need guidance and examples and that is what this book is about: showing writers how to develop their characters. The ebook uses artificial intelligence to generate reports on what makes a character 'great.' It also uses AI to generate what makes specific characters from literature and movies 'great.'
The combination of AI reports and an in-depth template filled with examples makes this book just what every new fiction writer needs.
Topics covered in the book include:
Introduction: Great character reports.
Physical description. Allow the reader to build a mental image of the character.
Biography: The character's background and how the character thinks and what she wants out of life.
Mental attributes: For both protagonist, antagonist and other main characters.
Character arc: A necessary story within the story.
Dominant reader emotion: How the character relates to the readers.
Flaws: Make the character human.
Motivation: Why does the character care about solving the plot problem?
The next book in the series will deal with developing a plot.
