Along with a clever plot, well-drawn characters make us want to continue reading a novel or finish watching a movie. In Creating Characters, Dwight V. Swain shows how writers can invent interesting characters and improve them so that they move a story along.The core of character, he says in chapter 1, lies in each individual story persons ability to care about something; to feel implicitly or explicitly, that something is important. Building on that foundation-the capacity to care-Swain takes the would-be writer step-by-step through the fundamentals of finding and developing characters who turn you on. This basic but thought-provoking how-to is a valuable tool for both the novice and the seasoned writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974599508256,"sku":"NEW0806139188","price":12.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/creating-characters-how-to-build-story-people-0806139188","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
