Character setup guide to create more vivid, complex and memorable figures Do you ever feel like the main characters in your stories stay on the surface? One of the biggest challenges when facing the blank page is not only deciding what happens, but who it happens to. Writing fiction or personal narrative requires that the characters feel real, with a weight of their own that goes beyond being mere pieces to move the plot forward. To help you make that leap from idea to paper, we've designed a practical resource: a character setup guide which you can download for free at the end of this article.
