walkwithheroesEarlier today I saw a post that discussed current trends in popular novels. The author of the post seemed to believe that characters today are less three dimensional than they used to be. Even in popular novels, characters seem more shallow - at least the author believes this. What was the solution? Flesh out your characters!
The article gives writers one hundred questions to ask themselves about their characters. Some are fairly simple (hair, eye color; family;etc), while others are more personal (favorite books, their beliefs, etc). I'm not sure you'd need to ask yourself all one hundred questions about each character. But, it could be interesting. Especially if you're just starting your work or if you just aren't sure about a character.
I thought I'd share the list with you all. Maybe some of us could share some of the answers?
